I thank everyone for their responses.
Just to clarify, I live on the gulf coast of Texas. Humidity is more of an issue than desiccation. In any case, this particular guitar has been kept inside my home with central heat and air. I am unsure as to whether the binding is shrinking, causing the separation, or just the glue failing. I was just rather surprised to see it on my guitar so quickly and was sort of stunned when the repair tech told me how common the problem is with Martins, in his experience.
