This is probably a question for Kovid.
I'm getting a trap in lxml.etree._utf8 with the message "ValueError: All strings must be XML compatible: Unicode or ASCII, no NULL bytes or control characters"
With recursions=0 and simultaneous downloads=1 this crashes ebook-convert with the following traceback
With recursion set to 1 and simultaneous_downloads left to the default the ebook-convert application doesn't crash, but the following traceback does appear, indicating a subprpcess of the main ebook_convert process crashed
In that case, feed_1/article_4/index.html is sitting in the debug-pipeline directories looking happy as a clam, so I'm not sure what is going on here.
I've looked at the calibre source at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kovid/calibre/trunk/files and the line numbers in the tracebacks don't seem to line up so I'm at a loss here.
My question: what is causing this and could calibre be made a little more bulletproof here?
