Same problem here (pics here http://bit.ly/aAger2 and here http://bit.ly/cp7uyd). In my case it was a stout circa-1998 Mavic touring rim that was straightened after a subtle taco-ing from a 1999 crash. It then went thousands of miles--many self-supported touring--before these cracks showed. The rebuild with Mavic's current bombproof touring rim ran $80 (rim) + $7.50 (spokes) + $45 (labor). Look on the bright side -- aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials.
