1) You run your test under glibc-based Linux and therefore your
   question relates to GNU libc.
2) Some libc functions may, for example, allocate memory once
   at the time of first call (and realloc this pointer when necessary)
   and do not explicitely free allocated memory.
   There is nothing curious here. One of the reason for this is
   that many standard functions are not reentrant.
