Try using the allyoucaneat option to test on the command line... IIRC, check_logfiles will only check a reasonable number of lines in the log file the first time, and from that point on only new ones. If that ORA-00600 is a long ways back, check_logfiles may not grok it. The allyoucaneat option should force the plugin to check *all* lines in the file.
