To be honest no - I asked for hint's why our software does not run on 
freebsd 9 and provided a gdb stacktrace. Pierre Muller answered he made 
a patch for the above mentionend, in a specific revision.
(svn diff -r 19175:19176 > bsd_sem_patch.diff )

   * Fix failure of webtbs/tw17560:
     the C structure sem (also TSemaphore record) used in cthreads unit
     inside cIntSemaphoreInit function via
     a GetMem(sizeof(TSempahore). sem was a simple cint
     value which lead to memoryt overwriting past end of
     allocated memory in sem_XXX calls.

I looked over it, tested our software and I found no negative behaviour
until today so I simply respected pierre's word and advice.

Without that patch, nearly every multithreaded app crashes on
FreeBSD 9 on application startup.
