All it takes a third-party dll (antivirus, antispyware, or just some other big brother hook) to be part of your executable, and the memory is gone. Or call to some Win32 library (like shell32.dll), and some caching going on there. 32MiB are nothing nowadays.
Just a callstack can be 1MB easily, granted it's RESERVED most of it, just some parts commited, but it can grow there (like directory recursion). Then you have 3 or 4 ThreadPool threads created just like that, etc. etc.
