Yes there is, some more poking around in /usr/src/sys/kern/subr_param.c
brought to light :
maxdsiz = MAXDSIZ;
TUNABLE_QUAD_FETCH("kern.maxdsiz", &maxdsiz);
which looked suspicously like a kernel tunable for data segment size.
So setting kern.maxdsiz in /etc/loader.conf seems to be the thing to do...
Of course by this time I have managed to find some postings concerning
MAXDSIZ and kern.maxdsiz.
Hopefully the next person confused about this will find my postings
*before* dredging the code!
regards
Mark
