Intermittent regression suite timeouts in cron CI jobs

Our CI executes develop builds and more often than not current develop branch build has some of the subtasks red because of regression suite timeout at test001.

Preliminary investigation unearthed an approximate point of failure in the syscat query execution. The actual query varies from build to build and time to reach the failure also varies from build to build. This is our starting point.

The purpose of this task is to investigate these failures deeply, find a way to reproduce and debug these.
