Are you also using flex?
At startup, flex allocates a buffer that is never freed; it's not really
a memory leak (flex merely has no point at which it can free the buffer
normally, so it relies on the normal 'at end' cleanup), but will be
reported as such by many memory checkers.
It allocates chunks of 16k tho, not 4k.
