Yes, a client experienced this big time when upgrading from tsm 5.5.4 to 6.2.2.3 on windows!

It worked ok with 10000 slots on 5.5.4 but we could not initalize the library on the new system.
the old server was a windows 2003 32 bit and the new server is indows 2008 R2 (64bit). We had to reduce the slots to 7999
