Frame failure experiences

"Luckily" enough, the seat tube extends "quite a bit" above the top tube on this frame (random picture of an older MY with U-brake mounts):

If there is enough room to extend the slot and the tube is the right diameter for a seperate clamp, cutting a bit of sounds like an option worth consideration if you would like to use the frame in the future.
 
Have you any idea why it cracked in the first place? Wasn't it there when you bought it? Yes, you have options thanks to that extended seat tube, I have carried on riding much shorter ones with similar issues. Your picture wasn't very revealing, hence my premature asseveration. If you are happy the rest of the frame is sound, do your damnedest to make it live.
