If you do have 8gigs of swap, then you do need to increase the parameter..
The default is 7.7gigs of supported swap...  (assuming that struct swblock
hasn't changed size...  The maxswblock only limits it... If swap is more
than 8x memory, then changing kern.maxswzone will not fix it and will
require a code change...
