This is probably the buffer which stdio uses for all I/O.
Try calling
setbuf(stdout, NULL);
setbuf(stderr, NULL);
as the very first thing in your program, and you will probably see
that it does not allocate the 4k buffer, you may also be able to
measure the performance change due to this.
In other words, what you see is perfectly normal, and to be expected,
but if it is a problem for you, the above is the workaround.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
