Discovered this last night, and can repeat it at will:

I'm in Louie's loft, I've found the <mumble> hidden in the <mumble>, and
next to the stove is something on the floor that looks like a whisk broom
or a bottle.  The cursor becomes the "actionable" cursor on this item -
when I click on it, the game dumps me back to the Win95 desktop.

I reported this to Take2 tech support, but it's Sunday morning, and I
really don't expect any news until tomorrow.  Which means a whole day
planned for Black Dahlia playing is most likely shot.

Has anyone else progressed past this point or know if this bug is going to
prevent me from playing onward?

For the record, my system: p100, 40mb RAM, 4x CD, AWE32, 1mb video, all
DX5 drivers running.

 soldiers of fortune, shakedown artists, extortionists, legbreakers. The
 lowest level implementors of public policy. Men who are often toadies of
 right wing regimes. Men who are racists. Men who are homophobes. These
 are my guys. These are the guys that I embrace. These are the guys that I
 empathise with. These are the guys that I love. "
