Yeah.  A few people have had it crack.
When I ordered my turbo and manifold from DA, they said that there was a backorder on the revhard manifolds, because they were redesigning them.  I have seen pictures of the old manifolds, and mine, and mine seems to be a lot thinker, and not as large.  
And I was thinking about how they crack.  It seems really hard to.  They are cast iron and one-piece construction.  And 7 psi isn't really too much pressure.  I can hold my finger over my friends boost controller line, which is 8 psi.  And it doesnt take ANY effort at all.  So I really don't know.  Perhaps they were running lean and heated the manifold WAY up then it got splashed with water or something and cracked.  I just don't know, but by the looks of mine, it will be with me for a while.
