Seriously though, the only thing I can imagine, and it's a long stretch, is that via junctions and/or symlinks you have introduced self referential loops into the library folder structure. You could use Nir Sofer's NTFSLinksView utility to have a look for such.

I'm somewhat familiar with symbolic links, not so with junctions. Would those be something that might have been created by Calibre itself? As far as I am aware I have not done anything manually which would have created such things.
With additional playing around I may have discovered that the "sort groups by number of duplicates" may be partly to blame (not 100% sure). When I remove that option, the search will complete after a few hours. But why that option should cause minutes to become hours and hours to become days, I don't know.
Thanks for the utility reference. Sadly, it is Windows only.
