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.
