 I had this problem, too, on a server running FreeBSD. The problem
 turned out to be that the maximum datasize (set by kernel) for the
 innd process was too small. 

 Have you checked the limits set by kernel? My experience tells me
 that if the limits set by kernel are over one gigabyte the output of
 limit command reports the limits as unlimited even though they
 aren't.

 Cheers,
