Bizarre problems with mobi2mobi

I've posted a couple of times before that mobi2mobi_GUI has suddenly stopped working, and also that mobi2mobi will not insert the author name on certain files.

The problem with not inserting the author names happens consistently with a series of older books by Lois McMaster Bujold from Fictionwise. As it happens the books don't show the cover either, but I don't know how significant this is.

Anyway, I downloaded another couple of books by Lois McMaster Bujold, and noticed again that the author's name didn't show. I tried to insert the author's name with mobi2mobi GUI, but again the name did not insert. When I then tried to change the author's name on another book - not the LMB books - the program locked up again. That is, when I select a book it just freezes, and I have to use the Windows Task Manager to regain control.

Now here is the bizarre part; mobi2mobi GUI will allow me to convert the LMB books. It does not freeze - it still doesn't insert the author's name, but it doesn't freeze up as it does on the other books.

I've got the latest command line version of mobi2mobi working. I can change the author's name in the books with which mobi2mobi GUI freezes. But the command line version still will not insert the author's name in the LMB books.

I'm frankly bewildered. Any idea what might be going on?

Regards, Alex
