I normally see a per-process limit of just under 2 gigs (1.97e+09
bytes or 0x75b03001 bytes) for mmap-ed memory under netbsd-current.
Is that what you are seeing?

As an aside has anyone noticed that you can do a very large mmap() and
have it return success?

	ptr = mmap(NULL,	/* requested addr in our mem space */
		   0xfffffff0,  /* size of mapped area */
		   PROT_READ,	/* prot */
		   MAP_FILE,	/* flags */
		   fd,		/* fd */
		   0);		/* offset in fd */
