 * Get a fresh copy of WordPress from this site, and use the files in the ZIP to
   replace your existing WordPress files, which may be corrupted.
 * Essentially, do a manual update: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)

 * I would also look at the code in the file plugin.php. In the latest release line
   106 is just a ‘}’. I’d be suspicious and want to see what was there in your code
   to see if it was just a bad install or attempted hack.
