I have set it in the kernel... I have run the program but it use 1300M!
As I set the maximum datasize to 1.5G it is OK for now. It is not very
optimized :-(

Thanks for your help,

I don't understand your 1.5 GB reference.

I think you set the kernel maximum in /boot/loader.conf and can then set
per-user limits up to that value in /etc/login.conf.

IIRC the stock unmodified kernel limit is 512 MB per process, and the
login.conf default is the same 512 MB. Login.conf can not override the
kernel. Something like this needs to be added to /boot/loader.conf:

kern.maxdsiz="3G"   # think this is the absolute system per-process limit
kern.dfldsiz="3G"   # think this is the default per-process limit
kern.maxssiz="128M" # stack size

But I have yet set the limit to 1.5GB! I wanted to known if the limit
to ~3G is always in effect.

My first card was with a SC/MP processor and 2K ram, words of 4 bits
and hex keyboard ;-)  ... after a ZX80 with a very large memory
of 16K...  

All the best,

Yes, you will have to tweak a few kernel values to allow more than 512M
per process. And then have enough core RAM and swap to back your data.

Consider leaving the data on disk and simplify your problem.

Back in the days of 8 bit computers people manipulated data greater than
64k, so with a bit of thinking and planning you should be able to do
similar.

You'll probably need to adjust the KVA_PAGES (which, if I recall
correctly, splits the space evenly between kernel and user space), but
there's no way you can get all the way to 4GB, because the kernel
needs *some* of it.
