It sounds to me like the beginning of plank shrinkage. Do you have her out of the water, or has Britain been experiencing some sunshine lately? If it is, then it could get worse before it gets better. 'twould be better to wait a while to see if the cracks get any wider before re-stopping the seams. How good are the hood-end fastenings? Are they holding well? When you do get to re-do the stopping, work some extra linseed oil into the putty. It will soften it, and if you get enough in, it will become very sticky and easy to get deep into any seam, all of which is desirable.
Peter.
