   This isn't an OS limit - if you were actually bumping in to
FreeBSD's max file size I'd be really impressed.  This is a
self-imposed limit in your shell.  For csh/tcsh, just type

  unlimit

and you'll be fine.  The max file size is > 100G, as is the
max filesystem size.  There've been patches to up it more, but
I don't know if they've made their way in to 2.2 or not.
