Yes, that cross is a a cryptic lesser vault. I suspect there were 4 monsters and 4 treasures at the corners of the little cross.

In the category of bizarre and deeply trivial bugs: if you have a Wooden Torch that's not fully identified (due to having an unknown curse), the Inspect screen will show the line "Refills other lanterns up to 15000 turns of fuel." from the Lantern description. Standard non-cursed Wooden Torches don't have this, and if you fully ID the Torch by identifying the curse, it goes away.
(Also, while I was pondering how the hell you'd even generate a cursed torch to recreate this, it occurred to me that with the new curse system we really ought to have some more negative scrolls that put curses on your equipment - bring back Curse Armour and Curse Weapon, and add another one for lights/jewellery as well - and possibly even monsters with the ability to do so as an attack.)Comment

The original version of that vault had four "8" tiles in it, meaning monsters up to 40 levels out of depth and guaranteed at least ego-quality items up to 20 levels out of depth. Notice that all that's stopping the monsters from getting out is a door. The vault (rightly) got toned down at some point.Comment

Scrolls for cursing are probably no fun - it's just a one-shot per game, and discouraging to ID by use. Better are monsters (as you point out) and trapsOne for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Whatever happened to arrows of slay giant? Did they disappear and I never noticed? (Even when they existed, I always found it a funny, though totally understandable quirk, that they worked on every form of giant except the giant Morgoth.)“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Did you still need an example for the the "crash descending to L100" issue?
I have a character (from a slightly earlier nightly) on the stairs on L99 that crashes consistently taking the stairs.Comment
