Quite simply, fsck runs in login class daemon (IIRC) which has quite
strict memory limits - too strict to fsck a large file system. This
was fixed before 2.2.5 shipped, so if you are seeing this on -stable,
you have forgotten to update your /etc after make world.

revision 1.14

Raise some of the 'daemon' class limits as used by things started
from /etc/rc, including inetd and it's children, stuff from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d (eg: squid, apache). The default limits are causing
a lot of problems including things like fsck failing on large disks.
I hope I've understood the quirks of the override mechanism properly.

Fix "daemon" class, Apache not works from /etc/rc otherwise.
Among bumping several limits, most interesting thing is that
Apache requires than "filesize=64M" restriction must be removed.
I think it is due to mmap() usage in apache, but I am not shure.
