Bug Description

Considering that these erroneous dates skew our awesome graphs on Subject pages, we should just clear them out.

According to a quickie Edward script - http://home.us.archive.org/~edward/9999.html - there are about 1200 entries with that date.

Let's clear them out.

I'm going to write code to lookup the date in MARC 260c, and if it looks sane use it as a replacement. If no sane date can be found the publish_date field will be blanked.
