See the URL for the minimal C program to reproduce the crash and the gdb backtrace.

LMDB will seg fault in mdb_dbi_open when creating a new database if the environment was opened read-only.

Thanks for the report, but this doesn't seem like a bug. Trying to create something when the environment was opened read-only is clearly a misuse of the API, and SEGVs are expected when the API is misused.
