I got this error after some seconds or minutes after begin of a level. The "Esc" key doesn't affect on this. My system: AMD Athlon 64 X2 with 1 Gb of RAM. GPU: GeForce 6100 (embedded in motherboard) OS: ASPLinux 11. Core: 2.6.23.17.
Is this a dual core processor? With multicore processors or SMP Thief's Dark Engine is known to be unstable (even on windows). This affects not only Thief but related games like System Shock 2 as well. There are workarounds involving "taskset" for which you can google.
