EWF and FBWF both active at the same time

[Juergen Striegel]

Normally this should not be possible but ewfmgr and fbwfmgr told me
exactly this a few minutes ago. It's not the first time this has happened.
Actions preceding this phenomen were to enable/disable fbwf a few times
with reboots between.
I did a "fbwfmgr /disable" followed by a "ewfmgr c: /disable" and
performed a reboot. No change: still both of them active.
I did just a "ewfmgr c: /disable" and after reboot, both, ewf and fbwf,
were disabled.

Is this a known bug? Did anyone have similar experiences? Is there a
solution /workaround? Problem is that switching on/off of fbwf is done
in the field and should be very reliable.

EWF and FBWF cannot be used to protect the same drive. They can be in the
same image, but they need to protect different drives.
