On Mon, 27 Feb 2006, Dan Nelson spaketh thusly:

-}Should something be up?  1073741824/1024 is 1048576, which is what the
-}limit command shows.  The stack size hasn't changed because you didn't
-}set kern.dflssiz.  You can also set the default sizes in
-}/etc/login.conf.

Doh!  Thinking powers of 10 not 2.  Sorry.  Didn't know about the login.conf
bit tho'.  Tnx.
