>From /boot/defaults/loader.conf:

#kern.maxdsiz=""                # Set the max data size
#kern.maxfiles=""               # Set the sys. wide open files limit
#kern.maxproc=""                # Set the maximum # of processes
#kern.maxssiz=""                # Set the max stack size

I suggest you play with these tunables a bit, IIRC the default maximum
process limit is 512 MB.

Someone'll doubtless come along soon with the real default.
