Relevant BUGIDs: 414943

Purpose of commit: comment about bug ids

Commit summary:
---------------
Sourceforge bumped all the bugids by 100000 at some point and this
made earlier entries in this CHANGELOG off by that amount. I've
added a comment about this to help the reader in trying to track
each interesting bug down.
