You're using Windows.
1/2 ;)
Seriously, it's a Windows problem. Probably a bug in one of
the of the USB-serial drivers (either the one for the
ARM_USB_OCD adapter or the one for the USB-serial cable). Try
it without the ARM_USB_OCD plugged in. Try it with a different
USB-serial cable (one that uses a chip from a different
vendor).
It might also be Hyperterminal. Though it's a buggy piece of
dreck, I don't think it's the cuplit in this case -- but you
could try something like Teraterm.
Or you could try using Linux...
