I've got an encrypted wallet and want to unlock it "until next reboot."

So I tried setting a timeout of 10 years (315360000 seconds):
```
bitcoind walletpassphrase "wouldn't you like to know" 315360000
```
... but when I check the unlocked_until time it is unlocked only until the end of the month :
```
bitcoind getinfo  
"unlocked_until" : 1333159764,
```
1333159764 is 2012-03-31 02:09:24 GMT

ne of my recent bugfixes changes an internal timer from seconds to milliseconds. The time you report seems to be 1000 times shorter in the future than expected. I'll have a look at it tomorrow.
