Mark, thank you.

kern.maxssiz: 268435456
kern.maxdsiz: 1073741824
kern.maxtsiz: 1073741824

Is the second limit datasize?

What is the 3rd limit?

Is this documented anywhere?
I can't seem to find it here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-kernel-limits.html

Many thanks
Anton
