The environment var TMOUT is probably set with a value >0 on your system.
From bash manpage (section "Shell Variables"):
TMOUT If set to a value greater than zero, the value is
interpreted as the number of seconds to wait for
input after issuing the primary prompt. Bash ter
minates after waiting for that number of seconds if
input does not arrive.
