Viewing a check plugins man page using cmk -M my_check left the terminal in a bad state. Browsing man pages using cmk -m did not work at all (still leaving the terminal in a bad state). This is fixed.

After running the commands cmk -M my_check or cmk -m the tty was not properly restored. Affected users can fix their prompt running stty sane or restore.
