Drilling a small hole at the apex of the crack will prevent it from cracking any further. Consider it before glueing that seat post in.

It's already too far gone to be used for it's intended purpose. If the crack fulfils its destiny and the ear falls off, the main effect will be a slightly lighter bike and a new nickname for the bike of "Vincent"

Yeah like. @mdcc_tester said it's already too far gone.
I love the idea of an expanding seat-post but they're all 3–5 times what I paid for the frameset itself, so glue is the frontrunner right now.

I picked up a Vitus 979 for cheap with a cracked seat-post clamp. Does anybody have a recommendation for this better than my LBSs "cut it in half and turn it into a lamp". It's a beautiful lightweight frame and I'd love to have some fun with it, I'm tempted to just glue a seat-post in there and see how it holds.
