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).
