If you have started mysqld with
          --myisam-recover, MySQL
          automatically checks and tries to repair
          MyISAM tables if they are marked as 'not
          closed properly' or 'crashed'. If this happens, MySQL writes
          an entry in the hostname.err file
          'Warning: Checking table ...' which is
          followed by Warning: Repairing table if the
          table needs to be repaired. If you get a lot of these errors,
          without mysqld having died unexpectedly
          just before, then something is wrong and needs to be
          investigated further.
