It would be very helpful if you could recompile with -g to
get line numbers. From the message we see that apparently
some pointer (very likely "fsp") is NULL while
scannedonly_open is called.
-----------------------------------------
Invalid read of size 4 suggests a (64bit) pointer or integer, right?

However, fsp is not used in scannedonly_open (it is only passed to the 
NEXT() call), only handle and fname are used. Can 'handle' or 'fname' be 
NULL in a VFS _open call?
