Findings on my Linux/32 machine with LibO 3.5.3.1:

1) conversion works well with one or several input files
2) stops working if a certain file amount (size?) is exceeded (here: 5 files,
total about 10m size)
3) did not get it to work if filename inludes path information

So my conclusions are,

A) LibO fails to handle path information correctly. 
B) LibO seems to fail if too many files (or too big size) are given as
arguments

Hint for devs: if B is correct, a nice Error Message would be fine ;-)

Setting prio to low as good workarounds exist

@zumbs at yahoo.com:
Can you try this workaround: 
1) cd into directory containing original files 
2) do not convert all files at once but start with fewer (e.g. 5 or less) files
Does it work?
In case it does not, you could try the following workaround (but again you have
to cd into appropriate directory first):
for %i in (*.doc) do soffice.exe --headless --convert-to odf --outdir
C:\Docs\Out %i
* take care that all is in one line; 
* maybe you have to lookup correct syntax for loop command ("help for")
