So does Flash 9 work for anything at all, a minimal applet?

Almost all syscall side effects are in data returned.

There are also subtle differences in what mmap behavior is allowed
with what mmap arguments and Flash might choose to ignore an error
code returned from an mmap call.  A -1 on FreeBSD where Linux had an
address might be the clue.
