FYI, just wanted to add I have been seeing this error for a few weeks on several different calibre versions. Currently have 1.24 and Mac OS Mavericks. Didn't see it before upgrading OS to Mavericks in October. 5000 ebooks.

calibre, version 1.24.0

It doesn't happen immediately, but I will see it after leaving it open for a few hours or overnight.

I did increase file descriptors on the OS. Do not have Google images plugin.

Calibre will refuse to exit, and keep popping up a box with the error. When I click OK it gives the error for a different item. So there is no way to restart it without killing the Calibre process using Activity Monitor.

Will experiment with Tasks Explorer.
