[webservices] event query by catalog, no results for PDE for old time ranges

[Chad Trabant]

Hi,

This is also a bug and will be addressed in our soon-to-be released FDSN event service.  It was not as simple as searching the cached primary origins only, but a little deeper.

Thanks for reporting.

Chad
