Maybe it has something to do with the nonpaged pool size?  MSDN states:

  "Every time a named pipe is created, the system creates the inbound
   and/or outbound buffers using nonpaged pool, which is the physical
   memory used by the kernel.  [...]
   The input and output buffer sizes are advisory. The actual buffer
   size reserved for each end of the named pipe is either the system
   default, the system minimum or maximum, or the specified size rounded
   up to the next allocation boundary. The buffer size specified should
   be small enough that your process will not run out of nonpaged pool,
   but large enough to accommodate typical requests."
