How did you configure the PIN on your machine?
Do you have a passkey agent?

Do you know, that the PIN handling changed with BlueZ 3.0?

Short:
- pin is no longer in /etc/bluetooth/pin. Now is in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.con=
f.
- set "security auto;" and "passkey "yourpin";" in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
  and try again.

I guess you do not see a timeout, but an rejection, since hcid has no PIN a=
nd
no passkey-agent, so it already knows, that it cannot authenticate the phone
and rejects it right away.
