I have had the same phenomen. It didn't just happen with my 380EX but
also with an old flash which I bought precisely to do "fill-in work"

You've to reset it back by firing it manually. Not very usefull for what
I had in mind since the flash was underwater :-)  :-)  The point here is
that this old flash is Canon dedicated (TTL). The 380EX does just the
same. I've read reports on the list about the same problem with other EX
& EZ flashes... it seems to be a Canon "feature"  ;-)

Is there some workarround for this?

The only way to use an optical slave is to put the flashes in manual so they
only emit one flash and no more.
If you use it in E-TTL it will not work, and neither will a flash meter.
Been there, done that.
