I believe those are extra-hard limits enforced by the kernel. You can
raise them by adding this to /boot/loader.conf:
kern.maxdsiz=2147483648
kern.maxssiz=2147483648
Then you can edit login.conf to set whatever soft and hard limits you
want (remember to run "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf" when you're done).
I'm not exactly sure why those limits are boot-time tunables as opposed
to regular sysctls, or why they exist at all.
