I have seen the calibre GUI freeze (during large operations). Never seen it lock up the rest of my computer, except for that time when I accidentally tried converting several hundred books a once, which filled up my RAM with the temporary files (linux usually is setup to use a tmpfs for $TEMP) and brought the system to its knees. I've gotten more careful.
I thought this was only a W7 issue.

I don't see it on my XP (Calibre 2.0) P4 2.4GHz 2G Ram
nor on Linux (Mint). It may be slow, but does not make the system totally unresponsive
