Re: Crack in the wall
I would bet it is a common header crack. I see it a lot in my area above the doorways. The horizontal header boards swell in and out with moisture from the weather, causing the sheet rock to crack. If you plan for it, you can minimize or avoid it by not nailing off the sheetrock pieces right next to the ends of the header or across the header.
