When python fails to parse a check file (local or shipped), the check_mk helpers would produce an erro message and exit. check_mk would then restart the helper, repeating the process infinitely which left check_mk in a non-working state, causing high cpu load and quickly growing the cmc.log.
This only occurs when installing syntactically broken checks so most users shouldn't be affected.
