Hi

Did you check in syslog or OLDsyslog file of any kind of entry of error log that relates to date?

I would suspect this command first:

# whence date
/usr/bin/date

/# type date
date is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/date

# alias|grep date
date=/usr/bin/date

# file /usr/bin/date
/usr/bin/date: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

What do you get?
