Crack Analysis

I'd love for someone knowledgeable here to have a gander at what this crack in the paint—a fault leaking rust, apparently—in the downtube of a ~10 year-old steel track frame might mean for its longevity... (For full disclosure: I have become kinda touchy as another lugged steel track frame of mine snapped at the seat tube/bb shell lug two weeks ago when accelerating from a trackstand at an incline with no prior indication of possible failure that I had been aware of.)




Edit: If one thinks that this is the wrong place for this sort of inquiry, kindly direct me to the proper place in the forums for this sort of query
