In order to provide random access, the ulog uses the same size for every
update record.  If an update record exceeds the block size, the ulog is
reset and the block size is increased.

To the best of my understanding, large update records are most likely to
occur from overuse of the -keepold flag.  Long password histories might
also cause it.
