[Xymon] Date issue with enable/disable page on 4.3.8

[taylor lewick]

But I'm only going out about 52 weeks or so, basically a year.  Its
frustrating because at most after a day or so, the device is back to being
enabled...

I used to run the Xymon display on IRIX and found that even 999 weeks was
too far in the future and would roll over. I'm guessing this is less a bug
and more an operating system limitation (though this should probably behave
by setting it as late as possible, not by rolling over
- -- maybe that's not possible).
