Default Metal Halide Bulb randomly breaking???

So today when I got home from work, my 150w hqi wouldn't fire....

Upon further inspection, one end of the bulb is blown out, and the inside tube is cracked in half!!!

Its a corallife 14,000k bulb and only a few weeks old .. I never touched it with my fingers, and it certainly didn't get wet....

Is this a common occurrence ??

(already called j&l about it, but a manager will call tomorrow.)
