(Sorry, this is not an answer to your question Ted...)

A similar thing happens to me, but stranger.  With 4M installed, the
self test says 4096K, which is what I expect.  But with 8M installed, it
says 8064K - which is 128K short. I have a 386-33, apparently made by a
company called TTL, and an AMI BIOS.
