Memory Allocation 8192

I have windows 2003 with 4 CPU's and 32GB of memory running multiple
instances of SQL. Server sees the full 32GB of memory without any problems
with the /PAE option enabled. Problem is when a instance is configured for
the exact size of 8192mb the instance has a hard time starting. It fails
multiple times and what when a normal startup takes 30 seconds can now 10
minutes or more to get going. Any instance goes back to normal by changing
to a different number other than 8192 as the memory allocation. Just curious
if any else has seen this problem with this "magic" number.This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

We have seen this problem, and I believe that a fix is being considered =for SQL 2000 SP4.
Thanks!
