This is my experience: I updated FreeBSD 8.0 about a week ago. 
acroread8 stopped working with the helpful message "Abort."  So I tried 
out acroread9, which had never worked for me, and still didn't.  Then I 
saw these emails and tried
# sysctl security.bsd.map_at_zero=1
acroread9 still didn't work.  But then acroread8 started working again!
