Hmm, thats bad, the ulimit -d unlimited is supposed to fix that.  What
about doing ulimit -d <maximum size of real mem + swap in KB>.  If that
doesn't work maybe it is hard coded into the kernel, or maybe you need to
issue a syscall to change it.  I beleive you said you were using FreeBSD
right?  I don't know too much about the BSD kernel.  Under linux, I think
you can fiddle with these entries on a global basis in proc but I am not
sure how.
