Description:
When trying to add an epub file to my library, I get the following error:

calibre, version 2.20.0
ERROR: Cannot add books: Failed to add some books, click "Show details" for more information.

Worker process crashed while executing job
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 103, in recv
result = cPickle.loads(eintr_retry_call(self.conn.recv_bytes))
File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/utils/ipc/__init__.py", line 19, in eintr_retry_call
return func(*args, **kwargs)
EOFError

If I try using the command line tool, "calibredb add my.epub" a segmentation fault occurs.

Additional info:
* calibre 2.20.0-2


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open calibre
2. Click the "Add Books" button
3. Select an epub file to add.
* error as above
