I've seen an issue like this with some types of USB-to-Serial adapters (specifically Belkin ones). I chalked the problem up to a driver issue but was never able to resolve it. In the end I simply bought a different brand of adapter and never had the problem again.

In short, if you're using a USB-to-Serial adapter, try using a different brand if one is available.
