This may be fixed by using one of SparkFun Cerberus USB hub cables. We found that after plugging in 20+ FTDI basics into a pi, then it stops recognizing the devices. But if you use a hub (like the cerberus) inbetween the pi USB and the serial bridge IC, then it always pops up as "/dev/ttyUSB0" for 1000s of boards in a row. Wahoo!
