I tried updating VLC from 0.8.6i to 0.9.2 on a few systems here and 
noticed the following problems:

1.  0.9.2 doesn't pick up SAP announcements from 0.8.6i

2.  0.9.2 wont play the following IPv6 multicast streams where 0.8.6i did 
before:

udp://[2001:b78:0:2::1ce:6e2b]@[ff3e::1001:1]:5002
udp://@[ff7e:120:2001:b78::1001:1]:5004
udp://@[ff7e:140:2001:660:3007:3fd:1001:1]:5006

3.  When multiple NT Service instances of VLC streaming/transcoding 
processes are configured (under Windows Server 2003), 0.9.2 will only 
allow 3 services to be running at a time.  Starting the 4'th service 
causes one of the previously running transcoding processes to die.  I 
didn't see an issue with CPU overload being the problem.

I've ended up reverting everything back to 0.8.6i here.  Anyone else 
noticing these problems with 0.9.2?
