This is really frustrating. I'm on the last of Brother Murus's tasks, retrieving his prayer book. For some reason, St. Jenel's is terribly crash-happy -- in the library, being in a certain spot at a certain time resulted in a crash. That was avoidable. Having picked up the prayer book, I am now on my way out. I use the elevator near the alchemist's room, get on, push the up button, and as soon as I enter the room with the pool I crash again.
Up until now, this has never happened. Not in any other missions, not in RTHC. What's wrong? :(
EDIT: Loading from the pause menu also makes it crash.

It is likely a corrupted level file. I don't know what the filename is for the return to haunted cathedral mission (level files have a .mis extension by the way) but if you can find that out it should be easy to simply copy the file from the CD and into Thief's root folder on the hard drive.
Though for this to work you need to have a savegame prior to RtHC and reach that mission again.

Oh God, no. :(
Thanks for the help though, I'll give it a try.

I don't have Thief handy, but I remember one of the two first Thief games having a mission selector (in a cfg file, likely user.cfg), that would be a very convenient way to start a new game in RtCH to test whether the file replacement works. But if that isn't the case then I'm sorry that you have to replay a good chunk of the game to try this out (but look at the bright side, Thief is a very fun game :)).
