You're mistaking FIB for RIB. RIB will take whatever fits in available memory, usually way more than 1M of IPv4 routes. FIB is limited to 1M prefixes, but only bestpaths land here, so with number of full feeds you'll usually anyway land at around 460k of prefixes. Try to search in archives for a lot of details.
