Commencal Cracks - Paint or Frame?

I've noticed some cracks in an odd place on my 2009 Commencal Meta 5.5. They appear to radiate out from a drainage hole on the underside of the rear swing-arm brace.

I'm not sure if they are cracks in the paint or the frame itself. It seems an odd place for cracks to appear. Has anyone else seen cracks like this on their Commencal, what are peoples opinions, paint or frame? Do I need to get it looked at properly?

The cracks are getting worse and I think there might be one between the seat tube and the top tube now as well - Having trouble getting a reply from Commencal about it though.

Doesn't look too good to me Al.

Can't the shop you bought it from sort it out for you?

Commencal have offered me the 2010 Meta 5 Pro Frame (Red with black graphics) which they can send today rather than the 2010 Team Frame (White with Green graphics) that won't be available until the end of October. I don't think there's any difference other than colour is there?

If not I guess I should go with that - Although I do prefer the look of the white and green one.
