ebook-convert hangs for mobi -> text | calibre (7.6)

Hi there,

I wonder if anyone has tips on how to go about debugging the following issue: I am trying to convert a book using the cli:

Code:
ebook-convert "book.mobi" "book.txt"
No fatal errors so far, however the process hangs forever, with the following output:

Code:
Parsing all content...
Forcing index.html into XHTML namespace
Guide reference 'images/05970.jpg' not found
Guide reference 'images/05970.jpg' not found
Guide reference 'images/05970.jpg' not found
Generating default TOC from spine...
34% Running transforms on e-book...
Merging user specified metadata...
Detecting structure...
Maximum TOC links reached, stopping.
Auto generated TOC with 50 entries.
Flattening CSS and remapping font sizes...
I can't even stop the process using CTRL+C, and need to interrupt and kill it...

It's Calibre 7.6 on MacOS Sonoma 14.4.

Any idea or tip welcome! Thanks in advance!
