If a touch is physically active when the device is enabled, then all
events for that touch must be ignored. In particular, we cannot close
the touch or we will decrement touch count counters below zero. If these
counters go below zero memory corruption can occur.

Note that a device is disabled and enabled every time the user types on
the keyboard if synclient is used to disable the trackpad while typing.
This is a very common option.
