QEMU linux-user calls glibc functions which, while usually very conservative
with memory usage, are not guaranteed not take less than 10KB (at do_syscall
we are already around 5 functions deep).

Our specific case we hit this is ugly, LD_PRELOAD library over glibc functions
with lots messy string handling...
