[Rhodes22-list] Is This Evidence of Deck Compression?

Folks:
I need some opinions from the list on whether or not I have a compression
issue which needs to be addressed. This is a link to a small web page I
created with three pictures taken inside the cabin of what I see.

There is nothing visible from outside to indicate any problems. The only
indications inside are some wrinkling in the liner on top of the pressure
bulkhead and a crack coming out from the hatch frame. Maybe somebody
cranked the rigging down too tight sometime, is all I can figure; but the
deck has flexed back and is solid as a rock. I know it wasn't me, because
these indications were present before I ever hoisted the mast the first
time.
I would appreciate anyone interested to take a look and let me know what you
think and if I should be worried. I didn't spot it as a problem when I
inspected the boat, but now intend to take care of it at some point if
needed.
Thanks in advance,
David Culp
