Yes, adding a semicolon after the catch block does fix the problem. Now 
0.9.2 can be compiled successfully by msvc 8 except some type conversion 
warnings.

Do you need a patch against the current cvs? I believe I added four or 
five semicolons.

I see. Is there any notable performance/stability improvement in 0.9.2 
with the introduction of asio? We are thinking of using libtorrent in 
our project but we are still not sure which version to choose. We plan 
to deliver something workable in at most two months. Do you think we 
should try 0.9.2 or stick with 0.9.1?

Thanks a lot,
