yes, this is intended due to a new measure to avoid NULL page root exploits.
You can change your local configuration to allow it again.
PERMANENT (after next boot):
in /etc/sysctl.conf add the line:
vm.mmap_min_addr = 0
TEMPORARY (as root)
sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr=0
This however allows mmap NULL exploits to work again.
