the fact that the crack is almost the same distance from the edge everywhere leads me to suspect that there is a wood frame under the glass that is swelling. I would use small drill and drill down into the substrate in the crack to see if there is any wood and if it is wet.

Regardless when repairing a crack it is important to drill a small hole at the ends to stop further cracking.

I use a right angle drill with a Roloc sanding disk in the drill to grind out the area. It is pretty easy to control and still is pretty aggressive to get the job done. The right angle drill gives you so much more control than a regular drill which is very hard to control. Good luck and keep us informed.
