I had the same problem, but after a little searching in the mailinglist archives in www.freebsd.org (you didn't do that, didn't you???) I found out that changing the following parameters in /usr/src/sys/i386/include/vmparam.h did the trick for me: DFLDSIZE to 128M and MAXSSIZE to 128M Both are 64M in the default config.
