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.
