Hi,

FWIW, It's the same as if you would rm * and get a "argument limit too long". See e.g.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11289551/argument-list-too-long-error-for-rm-cp-mv-commands

I can buy that essential tools like cp, mv etc might want to report this, but giving this much to LibreOffice probably just
fails into the "don't do that" category. (Or make it minor, since it's just not documenting something which everyone
should know anyway.)

Regards,
  
Rene
