 In plugins.php, the activate hook is called after you update the plugin as
 an "active" plugin, but if the activate method throws an error, the plugin
 is still "active".  To correct the error, you have to deactivate it,
 fix/upgrade the plugin, and then reactivate.  A broken plugin shouldn't
 remain active.

 Suggested solution: call the activate hook before updating the active
 plugins, and if there is an error, the plugin can die with an error
 message before it's officially activated.
