Whether still under warranty or not, call Apple and tell them how you are 
afraid the _sparking_ may cause a fire and you wonder what you should do. 
Many have described Apple sending a new adapter at no charge after such a 
conversation.

Whether your adapter is now sparking or not is irrelevant, a frayed cable 
and cracked plug are dangerous. IMHO Apple should replace such a fragile, 
poorly designed part at no cost to the user. Based on all the reports 
I've read, Apple seems to agree. They know there's nothing like a few 
good defective-power-supply fires to boost the ol' *Public Image*. <G>
