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,
