Well, I'm not sure exactly what might be causing sleep to be issuing a
SIGUSR1 signal, but here's a few suggestions:

1. coreutils-5.3 is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.tar.gz so you might want to
download it, build it, and install into /usr/local.  It might be a resolved
issue...

2. coreutils-5.2.1 appears to have new ebuilds available (r1 through r4).
Emerging one of these may fix the problem.

3. I unpacked coreutils and did a brief walkthrough of the code but could
not find that it was referencing SIGUSR1 at all.  I noticed that your script
simply calls 'sleep'.  Calling sleep by name may not be calling /bin/sleep,
it might be referencing a different sleep in your path or an alternate shell
function.  You could try replacing the simple 'sleep 2' with '/bin/sleep 2'
to see if it has any effect.
