ASUS Eee PC 1000H Screen Cracks?

Two users have reported on the forums that their Eee PC 1000H screens have cracked under low stress situations.

The first user’s screen broke after only having the 1000H for 92 hours this past October, reporting no contact with anything or droppings.

The second user added to the thread this past week, reporting a similar incident and posting a picture. Apparently, it worked fine the night before, but the next morning was already cracked when opened. The crack is not seen on the outside- there is no damage to the front of the screen or the back of the lid.

Has anyone else out there had any incidents like this, or do you think they are just incidental incidents?
