The biggest problem with the thief in AD&D simply comes from their ludicrously low chances of success at low levels. With only a 20% chance of finding and removing traps at first level, why are they with the group? At higher levels, magic begins to tread on their toes.
As they level up, thief saving throws also tend to be terrible compared to the other characters. They quite often have the worse or second worst save and they're the only class grouping that has a save category that never gets down to single digits (breath weapon). So the AD&D thief could certainly use some reform.
