The house is over 25 years old and the crack has been there for many years.
There was a popcorn finish on the ceiling so that the crack wasn't very
obvious. I have removed the popcorn crap and need to somehow repair the
crack before painting the ceiling. It is about 5 feet long and probably
about a sixteenth of an inch wide (or less). It in a second story bathroom
and there are no other such cracks in the house.

I have thought about digging out the seam somewhat and remudding the
joint. Would it be better to retape the joint and apply mud again
over that? It would raise that area but if feathered out far enough
maybe it wouldn't show. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Step one, why did it crack. With out answering that one you should
not
bother trying to fix it.

How new is the home? How long as the crack been there? Any other
problems in the area? Does it start near a door or window?
