I've just this week seen this behavior on an x86 PC running Ubuntu Feisty.  
The usb hub hardware in the PC will reset the mote's port, which causes it 
to 'jump' to a new tty device because the original one remains held open by 
the host software that was talking to the mote.  It can take 1-3 days before 
it happens.

I'm planning on posting to the list if I can track down this problem and it 
doesn't turn out to be defective USB hardware or something...
