It's probably 1024 weeks since a date was built into the firmware.

It's like the year 2000 problem.  If you aren't worried about old people and 
I tell you somebody was born in 03, you can assume that's 2003 rather than 
1903.  For GPS, a handy value for the cutoff is the date the firmware was 
built.  Any date that looks like it is older than the firmware is probably 
off by a rollover.
