I'd refer you to the following revision of the pkg-vulnerabilities file:

----------------------------
revision 1.52
date: 2001/06/06 23:46:35;  author: wiz;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
Add comment line to grow file size to be bigger than v1.49 again.
The added line should be deleted during the next update and has been
kept short for that reason.
