I see this same symptom. My guest is win2k with 64M of RAM on a machine
with 192M. I can only suspect that it's some part of the guest
initialization that doesn't get run when you resume that does get run
when you boot, and that doesn't matter on Linux (since presumably one
doesn't see this when the host is a Linux box). This implies that it's a
bug in vmmon, but I don't know enough about that code to make coherent
suggestions. :-)
