Hmmm...
"
size A number which expresses a size. By default, the size is
specified in bytes. It may have a trailing b, k, m, g or t to
indicate that the value is in 512-byte blocks, kilobytes,
megabytes, gigabytes, or terrabytes, respectively.
"
So did you just set your maximum datasize to 716.8 kilobytes? :-)

First question to ask: Did you log out and log in again? login.conf values are
only applied on proper logins.
Also, if you have a database version of the file (/etc/login.conf.db), don't
forget to take appropriate actions to update it.
