I'll stick my neck out and say it's not timing out. What happens is that you light the pilot, it heats up the themocouple, you move the gas control to "on", the main burner lights, the airflow (watch closely) of the big fire pulls the pilot flame a little bit away from the thermocouple, the thermocouple cools slowly, bing the gas valve senses insufficient heat, clack the gas turns off.
Fix it by moving the position of the pilot flame. Make sure it's still impinging on the thermocouple (1) when it's just the pilot and (2) when the main burner is on.
We'll be doing a "stump the chump" episode later on this one. (if you don't listen to click and clack, then you wouldn't know that the chump would be me, not you.)
