Subject: How to rescue any exception in 1.8?

This code will catch the exception in Ruby 1.6:

require 'timeout'
begin
	raise TimeoutError
rescue
	puts "Rescued!"
end

But in Ruby 1.8, it will not catch the exception. I found out that if
I do "rescue Exception" instead of just "rescue", it will work.

So, my question is, if I want to rescue any exception no matter what
it is, do I have to start typing "rescue Exception" instead of
"rescue"?
