I often use ebook-convert in a batch file to convert a number of ebooks in one go. Up to 0.6.16 this worked fine, but from .17 onwards it doesn't anymore.

When I have a batch file consisting of a number of ebook-convert commands, the first command that runs exits the entire batch file when it's done. Running the batch file from within a command shell does the same, and starting the batch file again in the same shell just exits the batch file without even (visibly) starting ebook-convert.

This is on WinXP SP3, fully patched.

Kovid, any idea what changed between 0.6.16 & .17 to cause this?
