sp3 allowed virtual memory change without reboot!?

I installed sp3, rebooted maybe once or twice. Then I went to My
Computer>Properties>Advanced>Settings>Advanced>Virtual memory>
and changed from system mananged size to a custom size of 2G/2G on C:.
It didn't force a reboot, but went to the desktop. I thought that weird so
I rebooted anyway. XP wouldn't load normally. In safe mode the virtual
memory was still read system managed. But I SET it again anyway as system
managed. Rebooted and everything was fine.

Has anyone else had a virtual memory change not force a reboot, and have XP
still work?
