Yeah, a lot of people remembered it as "Crack Monster", but when Jon Armond got a copy in 2009, he confirmed that it was called "Crack Master".
Of course, many segments tend to be titled differently depending on source and release. Who knows how "official" or definitive a title is supposed to be? For example, the number 3 film with a ball going down a wire-sculpture roller coaster has had many titles, usually "Henson Ball #3" or "No. 3 Ball Powder" (which was the title for the music used), but on DVD it's also been called "Henson Ball High-Wire #3" and there was an exhibit that referred to it as "Number Three Ball Film" (Muppet Wiki has that title as the title for the segment page). The animated "bread, milk, and butter" segment has been released on DVD with the titles "Bread, Milk, and Butter" and "Remembering Bread, Milk, and Butter". And the Pinball segments have been released under the titles "Pinball Animation" and "Pinball Number Count".

Cool, I'll be sure to add their page on Facebook and keep an eye out for any future nomination requests.
Of course there's only been two times fans on facebook have been given this kind of opportunity. First in 2008 for 40 Years of Sunny Days, and then in 2012 for Best of Friends, Sesame Workshop had fans vote for clips already nominated. Too bad such opportunities weren't provided for Best of Sesame Street Spoofs! or Old School Volume 3 (though when it comes to releases themed by year, it'd probably be best to just have fans vote on nominated clips, so that casual fans wouldn't risk nominating clips from the wrong eras).
The show has been celebrating its anniversaries every five years since season 20. Hopefully the upcoming 45th season will be no exception, and hopefully Sesame Workshop will let fans nominate clips for whatever big anniversary projects come out (though we don't know if there'll be an official 45th anniversary special, DVD collection, or album... But I'm hoping there'll be a special DVD release).
EDIT to ADD: I just now looked at the link provided. It's weird that the person with the copy is contractually forbidden from sharing the clip with anyone (outside of screenings), yet is apparently allowed to make a documentary of it. And Sesame Workshop said they store very little video footage and don't have a copy in their archives? I thought I read that Sesame Workshop has every episode in its archives and has made copies of every episodes in different formats. Not to mention that thousands of clips over the years have surfaced, whether on recent DVD releases, sesamestreet.org, and of course the thousands of episodes that have repeated segments over the years. Something doesn't sound right there.
