Apparently-spurious "Language not specified" errors from caliber-convert

[dd-b]

Running calibre 0.9.33 [64bit] on Windows 7 Ultimate. Using Cygwin bash and unix tools.

I notice various people reporting similar errors over considerable time.

Sorry this is a little messy; It's actually generated by a series of shell scripts, but this is what the inner-most script reported with -x (trace) as actually being executed:

 '/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Calibre2/ebook-convert.exe' 'Edward E. Smith - The Vortex Blaster.html' .epub --input-encoding utf-8 --use-auto-toc --preserve-cover-aspect-ratio --smarten-punctuation --authors 'Edward E. Smith' --author-sort 'Smith, Edward E.' --title 'The Vortex Blaster' --title-sort 'The Vortex Blaster' --cover 'Edward E. Smith - The Vortex Blaster.jpg' --isbn 0-515-03000-7 --language en --pubdate 1960 --publisher 'Fantasy Press' --series Lensman --series-index 1 --tags 'SF, science fiction, intergalactic, psi, lens, historical'

Use of --language=en doesn't help any. Neither does spelling it out, or using upper case, or specifying en-us.

The source file is half a meg, plus is copyright by somebody other than me, so I can't actually upload it.

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.
