I always thought the term was very appropriate and descriptive. When I
say I'm going to crack open the door to see if my kids are doing
anything they're not supposed to be, I open the door the smallest
amount I can to see inside :-) Or when I've cracked the code, it means
that first little bit of insight that leads to the solution of a
larger problem when computer programming.
