I'm seeing same error (x.42), not from Baen books, enough of them it would be a royal pain to have to track them down again.

I'll try to keep an eye out for .44, as I am working on cleaning up my files and fixing the metadata, then ran into a few hundred books that can't be opened (I'm seeing the error in trying to read the books, not just convert - hopefully your fix got both).


calibre, version 0.8.42
ERROR: Could not open ebook: unpack_from requires a buffer of at least 4 bytes
