File Size Limit Exceeded - How to handle work around this?

I wrote a simple program to continue to create a very large file (on
purpose), and even though there is plenty of disk space on that device
the program aborted with the error message "File Size Limit Exceeded".
The file size was 2147483647. I checked ulimit -a and its set to
unlimited.

Is this a compiler issue? I would like to see a C code example of how
to increase the limit or make it unlimited (if that is a wise thing to
do).

Thanks in advance!
