Thanks for reporting this issue.  I can confirm the segfault for
dbase 7.0.0 (the only supported version).  The fix should be as
simple as:

Index: dbf_head.c
===================================================================
--- dbf_head.c	(revision 347486)
+++ dbf_head.c	(working copy)

 		efree(dbh);
 		return NULL;
 	}
-	if ((ret = read(fd, &dbhead, sizeof(dbhead))) <= 0) {
+	if ((ret = read(fd, &dbhead, sizeof(dbhead))) != sizeof(dbhead)) {
 		efree(dbh);
 		return NULL;
 	}

I shall release dbase 7.0.1 as soon as possible.
