I convert to MOBI and occasionally to EPUB without issue. I've converted at least 100 books with no problems.

I have seen variations of segmentation faults with the loader before. Mostly in the last two versions before 0.6.8. My calibre would randomly close while idle, and I'd see a seg fault waiting for me at the command line. It didn't seem to be a result of any regular functions of calibre (excluding news feeds; this is the first time I've tried them out). But with version 0.6.8, whatever was causing the random closes stopped. Also, coming out of the last 0.5.x version, it stopped recognizing my Kindle 2 upon hotplug. Mildly disturbing, but I just switched to Save to Disk from calibre directly to my mounted drive. It's only a small hassle for me to save books to my Kindle 2 that way instead.

I can't figure out why a custom recipe for Old Foodie would trigger a seg fault.

Thanks for the recipe for Old Foodie! I'll experiment with other custom recipes and see if they seg fault out also. That might narrow down the issue. Between upgrades I do wipe the calibre personal settings folder to try to prevent corruptions from carrying over.
