Ah, wasn't saving a bit or two in the data packet worth all this

Newer GPS signal formats have lengthened the epoch to 8192 weeks, so the
next rollover for receivers using CNAV messages should be in 157 years
time, though older receivers should work as long as the Legacy messages
continue to be transmitted using 1024 week epochs and the receiver
remembers (or can be told) the epoch number).
