How much of a concern is this finish(?) neck crack?

I made a boo boo when I forced the neck in the too tight pocket resulting in the neck pocket crack as show. How worried should I be about this? The crack does not run parallel to the grain on body. TIA.

I'm sorry , image size doesn't show crack, and uploading from my PC it says file is too large..COME ON UNOFFICIAL YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!! You can see it here on Craigslist in my pics though if you look through pics. It's the 5th picture form the end:

Tough to say. It doesn't look worrisome to me, and finish will usually crack before wood (and be easier to see), so it may be nothing. Downside is, it's poly, so it's tough to repair.
 
Look.... wood flexes, most finishes don't. Cracks are going to happen, and the one you've pictured is no worry at all.
