Great program, but with a fatal bug:

I have version 0.6.2 on Vista-64. When I try to import 136 books (most in PDF format) from hard drive, system slows down to a crawl (I have Quad-Core, 8 gig of ram, 20 Gig free space on HD), runs out of memory in about 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive. SEEMS LIKE SOME MEMORY IS NOT BEING PROPERLY RELEASED.

When computer stopped responding completely (about 10 minutes, 30% of books imported), I managed to terminate it. Then I checked hard-drive- 20 Gig of space was GONE! Just like that. The Calibre book directory was only 20 MB, so I went to check windows temp directory, and, voila- it was overfilled with thousands of files named "magick-something", each one about 4 meg long. So, also- temporary files are not properly released.

What is going on?
