Title: std: Turn down the stdout chunk size

I've found that 64k is still too much and continue to see the errors as reported
in #14940. I've locally found that 32k fails, and 24k succeeds, so I've trimmed
the size down to 10000 which the included links in the added comment end up
recommending.

It sounds like the limit can still be hit with many threads in play, but I have
yet to reproduce this, so I figure we can wait until that's hit (if it's
possible) and then take action.
