After letting it work for about 40 hours to some 4500 books (mostly PDFs) I asked Calibre to start downloading metadata for all books listed under author unknown and with an ISBN. This took Calibre some 7 hours for 2000+ books, but when writing tags it crashed. I sure hope nothing was deleted as I run with no backup as I'm quite tight on disk space right now.

I repeated the operation, each time with less books and it crashes after it downloads the metadata. Now I have tried something else. Looking up in the main list and manually select which files to have their metadata downloaded. And it has worked. I also searched for "unknown". And it has worked. And I have searched for "author:unknown" and selected from that list which ones to have their metadata downloaded. In the end, my 0.8.7 portable calibre crashes only when the list is generated from authors than u than unknown. Strange, but it was redone.
There were crash issues with 8.7 on Windows that were fixed recently. I don't know if those fixes made it to the 'Portable' version.
Discard your old download and get a fresh download (the version # did not bump)
