You are right. We use VC8 with a hotfix for the stream memory leak. For 
several reasons an upgrade to SP1 is not an option.

The trunk version of usinstances.cpp still does not compile. I obtain 
the same error as in 1.36.0. When applying my patch it leads to the 
linker error which the workaround should prevent.
