Valid values for that parameter is INT_MAX / 1024. INT_MAX is defined
here as
$ grep 'define.* INT_MAX' /usr/include/limits.h
# define INT_MAX 2147483647
So that puts the maximum at 2097151, which you are exceeding. This
assume your platform is similar to mine (size_t == 4 bytes).
$ dc
2147483647 1024 / p
2097151
Note the size is measured in kilobytes.
