Thanks Joe, that did it.
Out of curiosity, I don't see any of the compat tree in /boot/defaults/
loader.conf, is there any place this is documented besides kernel
sources? If not then I guess I should give something back to the
community and change that :)

Hello,
I've got a handful of i386 boxes, and a handful of amd64 boxes
running a
32-bit application, the reasons for this exact configuration
mystify me
as well as the deployment predates my time in the environment. Now
that
the dataset the application is loading is rapidly approaching 512MB
we're starting to tweak kern.maxdsiz and kern.dfldsiz to 1GB.
The i386 boxes are doing great, but we hit an issue with the amd64
machines in that 64bit apps seem to work fine, but the 32bit apps
running on the amd64 machines fail to be able to use more than the
i386
default of 512MB no matter what we set kern.maxdsiz to. I've also
tried
compiling it into the kernel, which results in the same issue.
I tried starting the app with "limits -d 1090519040", and it seems to
fail as well. Limits does show the proper value for datasize of
1064960 kB.
We're locked into 32-bit binaries for this app at the moment thanks
to
some uh... interesting libraries it uses, so the usual option of
recompile isn't available. I'd like to avoid traveling from San
Jose to
Seattle, then Virginia, then Munich to reinstall the amd64 machines
with
i386 machines if at all possible.
Uh... help?
Have you tried setting compat.ia32.maxdsiz? I believe this will do
what
you want.
