Thanks both.
The crack is really more a split. The top of the fork has been cut to use a more modern headset, but it’s been cut VERY! badly. It’s not only sloping, but also a little bit V’ed. This was not done by me, I promise! So it’s split down the steerer I didn’t notice when I got it, but 500miles in and it’s made itself known. It stops at the bottom of the threaded bit.
@Hulsroy the unknownness of the steel that made me ask, so I’ll defer to your concerns.
I think I’ll have to just use the other fork I’ve got until I find a nice replacement.
