It happens with both 0.8.40 and 0.8.41 and seems to be related to removing books from the library. The crash only happens after I remove one or more books from the library.

The crash is in QTWEBKIT4.DLL (4.7.3.0) at offset 0x0046B314.

If I run "calibre-debug -g" it sometimes starts and sometimes crashes with just the "Starting up" message being printed.

The crash doesn't seem to happen if I:
1. remove the book(s)
2. shutdown Calibre
3. use SQLite Administrator to cleanup the metadata.db database
4. start Calibre (using calibre.exe).

Namaste, Sneddles
I have had about 3 Qt crashes in the last week in Calibre (and about 5 in Sigil 5.1).
They are not all the same module crashing (the event viewer log shows what QT module).

I don't ever remember a Startup Crash, Almost always happens when updating existing metadata.

Uou may have a bad font:
Try changing the font in Preferences: Look and feel:Interface font.
