Description:
Last time I checked, 8==8

win32 5.0.89:
1) release build prints to error log:
 9:27:37 [Warning] option 'key_buffer_size': unsigned value 8 adjusted to 8

2) debug build prints to error log:
 9:27:19 [Warning] option 'key_buffer_size': unsigned value 36 adjusted to 36

How to repeat:
1) set global key_buffer_size=8;
2) set global key_buffer_size=36;

check error log.

Suggested fix:
5.0.x only. just reporting it for completeness. won't fix is expected.
