Just an update on the split surgery. You can see from the previous post that the split started in the "meat" of the pumpkin. From the split, using a very sharp knife like an Exacto, slit the stem about 1/2 way to the vine. Then place a very shallow slit at right angles to the original split. Instead of the pumpkin splitting, you can see that the stem has opened really wide to remove the stress from the pumpkin. After performing all the necessary surgery, dust the cut areas with ordinary garden sulfur.
