I'm running db servers on AIX 5.2, too, and they're working. I can't  
think of why a FiveMinuteCheckLWP would cause a crash.
What I'm trying to say, is, that's pretty weird, but that's what all  
bugs are :-)

You're sure it works until the first 5 min. check?
Does it say anything in the logs during startup?
What does udebug say about the quorum during those 5 minutes?
