Summary:
integer overflow in reminder?

Detailed description

Some listowners wanted to disable reminders, which is not possible using the current webinterface. Therefor I created a new definition like this:

title.gettext never remind subscribers
=========
/INIT
next([execution_date]+200y,EXEC)

/EXEC
@selection = select_subs (older([execution_date]))
send_msg (@selection, remind)
next([execution_date]+200y,EXEC)
=========

However, it did not work, reminders were sent to the subscribers after about 200 days (I'm not sure about the real interval).

I mentioned the issue at sympa-users where Olivier Salaün suspected an integer overflow and asked me to repot the issue with the bugtracker.

PS:
My new template to effectively disable reminders might look like a workaround to the problem that the current webinterface offers no way to disable some options. However, I consider adding a new "null"-option to the dropdowns like "reminder" to be the easiest solution (no changes to sympa-source, just new templates) and to fit perfectly in the interface.
