Either way, you need to figure out
*why* it is suddenly cracking after so many years. The only reason I
can think of is differential expansion and contraction; that is, one
face of the door has dried out more than the other. A heated - and
dry - interior in your house could cause that. You really do need to
maintain the finish on the door to avoid problems such as you now
have.

It's probably been a problem for years but this year, we've had extended
periods of low-temp/tons of rain followed by high-temp/dry, then rain,
then dry, then rain, etc. It was probably enough to push it over the
edge. I've been intending to refinish the door like I said, I've been
recognizing the seasonal movement of the door as it moves enough to make
it difficult to close during the winter and I had it off the hinges to
plane the bottom of the door a couple of months ago.
