That sounds like a bug in the check.pl script,
which is in our repository (cvs checkout CVSROOT/check.pl).

It's probably a bit hard for anyone else to debug the problem,
since they will have difficulty reproducing it.
So I suggest that you debug it, e.g. if necessary by inserting
debugging print statements into check.pl (and committing those
changes).
