Particle System Size over Lifetime overridden by min particle size

I am trying to use the particle system to make one particle grow over its lifetime, but I can't seem to get the lifetime curve to actually be realized. I can change the size of the particle by changing the min particle size (under renderer), but even with the min of 0 and a max of 10, the size curve I have between 0.1 and 1 does not get rendered. (In fact, with a min of 0, nothing gets rendered at all.) Color over lifetime appears to be working properly. Any help would be appreciated.
