Memory allocation problem with c++/cli

It seems that starting a managed Thread in c++/cli allocates 1MB of memory.
I created a quick and dirty sample to reproduce this behaviour, it creates
100 threads and each thread sleeps for 10 seconds. Memory usage (while all
threads are live), 100MB when compiled with the c++/cli compiler.
Same code ported and compiled with VS.NET 2003 allocates just 3 MB.

It has to be that I'm doing something wrong, can anybody put some light on
this?
