This plant had a lengthwise split in the main vine near the pumpkin. You can see a large bamboo stake that is helping hold a plastic plate in place to prevent water from collecting in the vine. So far it does not look like there is much of an issue as the vine just opened up and healed over nicely and the plate is just ensuring that water does not get into the hallow main vine which will most likely lead to rot.
