The problem seems to be related to iOS memory management, which is why it is so hard to replicate. Free memory is collected periodically, but the period is unpredictable. An app can run out of memory between collections. I mention this because contrary to what I said in your calibre bug report, the fact you are using TXT files might actually be relevant. It will take *much less time to send empty TXT files than to send real books, meaning books will arrive much more quickly meaning that CC will touch the database far more frequently than "normal". If I am right then sending smaller groups and waiting a bit between them might help.

Ahh, I see your latest post. I will leave what I wrote for posterity. I suggest you contact Steven to get a refund.
