did you go from the stove top to real cold?, that would do it. Or it could just be a flaw in the manufacture

Did you let it cool thoroughly before rinsing it? If you take a scalding hot pan and immediately place it in the sink and run water into it, that could cause it to crack. It will also warp other pans (i.e. non-stick aluminum pans).
