Crack in Frame

While having my shock rebuilt, I took a look at the frame I'm about to build up and found this little beauty (by the screw on the bushing).

It doesn't go all the way through to the other side, but it's a crack in the frame and not just the paint. I'm kind of pissed because I just paid $100 plus shipping to rebuild the shock, which is pretty much only good for this specific model of frame, and bought a fork, headset and seatpost for it. Trying to consider what would happen if that part did let go, and I think it would be annoying but not dangerous. I was thinking of putting everything but the drivetrain on and taking it for some slow but hard bunny hops and curb jumps to see if that doesn't finish it. What do you think?
