>Description:
      The intro(2) man page has the following description of EFBIG:

27 EFBIG File too large.  The size of a file exceeded the maximum (about 2.1E9 bytes).

which is incorrect. 2.1*10^9 bytes (2 GiB), isn't the maximum file size in the FreeBSD Operating System.
>How-To-Repeat:
      $ man 2 intro
>Fix:
      NetBSD and OpenBSD state the following in their man page:

27 EFBIG File too large.  The size of a file exceeded the maximum.  (The system-wide maximum file size is 2**63 bytes.  Each file system may impose a lower limit for files contained within it.)

This description is valid.

I removed the file size limit verbage..  There are other better places 
that this should be documented, like in the fs pages...
