Hopefully it's what dhillon09 describes... That's the only problem with my house at the moment - no other major cracks. I'm in Vancouver, near Oak & 67th, with radiant heating so the floors are concrete.

I'm thinking of moving to a bigger place in the near future, so the right thing to do is to get this fixed up before putting my place up for sale.
Just re-tile it. Biggest PITA is gonna be ripping up the old stuff, but it's nothing to worry about (atleast I don't think). The way most houses are made in vancouver the upper 6 inches of the foundation is exposed all the way around the house, so you could do a quick visual inspection if you're really paranoid quite quickly.
