Subject: How much stack space do system calls need

Is there a defined figure somewhere that specifies how much stack space is
needed for TOS/GEM calls? When writing TSRs and Desk Accessories I don't want to
waste more space than is really necessary. Obviously I need enough to
stack the call arguments plus the SR and return address, but how much more
is then required for the call itself - Rwabs() for instance, seems to need
quite a lot of space. Any ideas?
