Hi everyone.

I'm having trouble using penelope to convert a zip containing a stardict dictionary into a kobo one. I end up getting a segmentation fault (core dumped) error every time, here are my steps:

1.The folder with the stardict contains an .idx, .ifo and a gzipped dict file. There's also a 'res' folder containing a lot of jpgs. I unzip the gzipped dict file to get the original dict file (along with removing the gzip afterwards).
2. I take all these files an create a dict.zip.
3. I run the command: penelope -i dict -j stardict -f en -t en -p kobo -o dicthtml
4. Reading the file goes okay, but during writing I get a "segmentation fault (core dumped) penelope -i dict -j stardict -f en -t en -p kobo -o dicthtml" error.

I've tried several other approaches like excluding the res folder during zip, not extracting the gzipped file and so on. However, I always end up getting the same segfault error.

Could someone please help me? I'm running a Linux system with both penelope and marisa installed via pip.
