Thanks Andreas. This is somewhat interesting in that I don't have such a man page on the systems and 'man lfs' doesn't have such a statement. But, certainly, 2^48 sec. would be sufficient! Our workaround was just to use a -t XXXw to specify a large number of weeks (largest granularity I could see) for the grace period, but having a '-1' shortcut would be preferable.
