[wp-hackers] Invisible Errors on Activation

[DD32]

It is the default behaviour.
Upon a fatal error in activation, it should redirect back to the plugin  
page with:
"Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
<Small inline frame here which contains the fatal error messages generated  
by the plugin>"
The iframe simply tries to activate the plugin once again, it should hit  
the fatal error then again too.
