Bug Description
Calibre version: 0.7.52
OS: Windows Vista 64
RAM: 6GB
When selecting a large group of books and choosing 'Convert Books -> Bulk Convert', after a varying amount of completed conversions (tends to be somewhere between 100 and 200 conversions), Calibre will crash.
In Task Manager, you can see the Memory increasing from around 150k when the conversion starts to roughly 1,900,000k at which point the APPCRASH will occur.

I suspect your crash is caused by the presence of a few bad books causing a memory leak and crash. I would suggest converting in smaller batches till you identify the bad books. If you are able to identify the books causing the crash, attach them to this ticket and I will see if it is possible to fix the leak caused by them.
