If you connect the USB RS-232 adapter to a Linux desktop and
run "lsusb -v" as root, you should be to see the USB device
descriptors, including the power requirement number.  

Safest thing to do would be to connect a powered USB hub
with its own wallwart between the Pi and the serial adapter;
this will relieve the Pi of the load and avoid the problem
entirely.  You could probably arrange to run the Pi and
the hub from a single power supply, with a splitter cable.
