Which strongly suggests that the problem is caused by some other program running on your machine. You might be able find out by enabling CONFIG_USB_DEBUG and turning on the usbfs_snoop module parameter for usbcore. Oh, and while you're doing that, it would also be a good idea to enable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME.
