2.1.131: date(1) causes video "reset"

I just did:

[root@bd sound]# date
Mon Dec 28 20:54:48 EST 1998
[root@bd sound]# date 12292055
Tue Dec 29 20:55:00 EST 1998

and it caused my video (Matrox Millenium II, AGP) running under XFree86-3.3.3
to reset for about 1-2 seconds.

Is this to be expected ?
