Code:
# database names must include a terminating NUL.
die "bogus database name! is this really a PalmOS file?" unless $name =~ /.+\0/;
So maybe there are certain conditions in calibre conversions that result in a Palm Db Name that isn't null terminated when long titles are involved? Somewhere between 52 and 56 characters?
Is the null termination an official specification of the file type? Because if it is then it's a bug in Calibre...
