acroread9 on f10 still fails (FBSD8-STABLE)

[Maho NAKATA]

Hi hrs@, Alexander,

Alexander: thanks for your comment.
All: it hit me too. I cannot use acroread9 on f10. same symptom 
as George Mamalakis's.

hrs: 
could you please mark /usr/ports/print/acroread9 ports as IGNORE?
It doesn't run on any of FBSD and as Alexanxer wrote
