This installer fixes the problem loading the photoshopimport.aip and photoshopexport.aip plugins in In Illustrator CS4 running on OS X Yosemite.

The launch log output in Console should throw these errors:

Adobe Illustrator[521]: Error loading /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS4/Plug-ins.localized/Photoshop Formats.localized/PhotoshopExport.aip/Contents/MacOS/PhotoshopExport: dlopen(/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS4/Plug-ins.localized/Photoshop Formats.localized/PhotoshopExport.aip/Contents/MacOS/PhotoshopExport, 262): Symbol not found: _map_fd

This fix addresses the issue by injecting libmap_fd into the executable image at runtime.

libmap_fd is developed by Benjamin Fleischer (https://github.com/bfleischer/map_fd) and provides a custom implementation of the map_fd syscall based on POSIX mmap that is compatible with Yosemite.
