Now, since yours is cracking and not actually cut, I wonder if that makes a difference -- since the crack might be inclined to keep spreading? I guess I'm not helping much.

It al depends on how long the crack is I suppose. If you can be sure of where the crack now ends you could drill a hole so the crack stops in a blunt hole instead continuing a sharp V.
