It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly... we had this problem running 5.0 Online on a SUN Sparc IPX. The database was updated via batch daily loads, no oltp. We were also experiencing the "page cleaner timeouts". Yes, bouncing the engine gets things going again, but that didn't end the timeout situation. What we did do was: set page cleaners to 0 and let the tbinit process handle the task. Ever see tbinit time out?? Not bloody likely. Anyhow, this might not be the exact solution your looking for, but it worked just fine for us. Hope this helps. Later.
