Because coreutils date simply passes the time value to set along to
clock_settime(2) or if that is not available or fails then it passes
it to settimeofday(2) or if that is not available or fails it passes
it along to stime(2) I don't see how this could possibly be a bug in
coreutils. At the worst it would be a kernel bug.

If you can reliably reproduce this it would be useful to run strace on
this date operate. Then record the output and what the last things
you see on the screen before the system hangs. If this system hang is
reproducable then it would be a kernel bug.
sudo strace date 10241246
You should see something like:
clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1130179560, 0}) = 0
I do not believe this is a coreutils bug. Unless some evidence to the
contrary is posted I suggest that this be reassigned to the sparc
specific kernel.
