this is a kernel limit.

i got around it like by recompiling the kernel with these lines in the
kernel conf file:

options         MAXDSIZ=3D"(768*1024*1024)"
options         MAXSSIZ=3D"(256*1024*1024)"
options         DFLDSIZ=3D"(768*1024*1024)"

and then these lines in /boot/loader.conf:

kern.maxdsiz=3D"1610612736"
kern.dfldsiz=3D"1610612736"
kerm.maxssiz=3D"1610612736"

then a reboot.

and then putting unlimit in the zope start script (csh shell).

you should of course decide which numbers are best for you
