Actually, rogue (5.3) doesn't really put its size in the save file.  When
you save a game, rogue just writes its entire data segment on the save file.
Hence the grossly large saved games.  This method also results in another
rogue sickness:  one must continue saved games on the same terminal type as
they were started on.
