The White Princess gone?

I was cleaning my BMC a couple of weeks ago after a ride and noticed a small crack near the bottom bracket / left chain stay junction. One ride later, it had grown alarmingly. At the shop, they also noticed cracking at the bottom of the seat tube where the carbon tube slots into the aluminum bottom bracket box. Photos were taken and sent to BMC and they've now said that it is "90%" likely it is a warranty issue. It has since been stripped and sent back to them for confirmation. I've had some great rides on this bike (including an awesome trip to France last summer) and it would be sad to lose her.
