APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When entering '/o' in the Days field of a schedule, the
  Schedules page will no longer load.
  Schedules page will load blank, or the UI will hang.
  All other pages seem fine, as long as you don't click on the
  Schedules page.
  
  Apache error log will show:
  
  [Tue Nov 25 13:24:12 2014] [error] [client 192.168.88.53] PHP
  Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted
  (tried to allocate 262143978 bytes) in

  line 379, referer:
  http://bmnrtcdesa.itnostrum.local/fullcontrol/index.php?mod=serv
  ers
  
  I was able to reproduce this.
  Steps:
  Create a scehdule
  Change the Day to /0
  Save.
  
  Resolve:
  
  Go into the DB.
  Remove the slash.
  
  We should prevent entries like this from being saved into the
  DB, and breaking the UI..
