I had that crack show up too: it's cosmetic (the plastic shell) so no leaks, but you don't want it to break or the mag won't fit in the gun anymore. Epoxy seems to have fixed it.

Also of note, I had the crack develop just doing reloading drills -- i wasn't even shooting. So it would seem just the rough handling of inserting/removing the mag can cause it. That being said, I've had that same area on AEG AK74 mags break/crack, too, so it seems to be an area subjected to a lot of stress/wear more than a WE-specific problem (although WE's seem particularly fragile).
