 * This plugin was working fine, but then I changed my server to run mod_php instead
   of suPHP and now every time I activate the plugin the site breaks in a horrible
   way. Is this a known issue?

 * I’m running the plugin with mod_php on a number of sites. The error you’re getting
   here looks to be due to your wpjobboard plugin and not BWPS.

 * I agree that it appears that way, but I think wpjobboard just happens to be the
   next table in the db, or the first plugin to throw an error because they all 
   appear to break when I reactivate BWPS. I don’t get any errors or problems without
   BWPS activated. Does that make sense?
