skype and flashplayer does not work after applying security patch

$ uname -srm
FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 amd64

I've patched my system using freebsd-update today. After reboot I noticed that skype and flashplayer doesn't work anymore. There is nothing in logs. Nothing happens when I launch skype from console, it just silently hangs without any output or any other visible behavior. Same with flash. I tried:
opera+nspluginwrapper
opera+opera_linuxplugins
firefox+nspluginwrapper

Both browsers and wrapper are able to see flashplugin, but it just won't load.

the "unix" patch of the past week broke some things in the linux compatibility layer(s), they are in the process of writing/sending out a new patch which may fix it, per the freebsd-security mailing list.

Today, 2011 Oct 4, a new revised SA-11:05 is completed. Please refer http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-security/2011-October/006058.html

I compile 9.0-Beta kernel with new src code. The linux flash player plugin works again.

Cheers! They've even prepared the binary updates!
