AFAIK that is the same as asking windows to open it. it opens in sigil because that is my windows default for epub.
It's very close, but not quite. calibre is still responsible for handing off the request to the OS (very likely through QDesktopServices), but it's still possible for the calling program's (calibre) environment to interfere. I've seen it happen on Linux: launched via QDesktopServices through another program doesn't work correctly ... launched via normal OS procedures works just fine.

That being said, Kovid does a great job of ensuring that calibre's environment doesn't interfere with any processes it may spawn, but I'd still like to see you recreate the crash with calibre completely out of the equation if at all possible.
