I tried that multiple times and always failed. With following hack, I
"debugged" the value of nextLocalVar at the beginning of the split:
Files.writeString(Path.of("C:\\temp\\test.log"), "nextlocavar" +
nextLocalVar, StandardOpenOption.CREATE, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);
The values are always 4. I did not dare to overwrite these "magic" slots 1, 2,
3. Despite using IntelliJ's call hierarchy feature, I could not find out where
in the code this happens or for what reasons.
I moved `BUILDER_VAR` and `DEDUP_LIST_VAR` two "away".
I think, using `0` was "intentional", because `this` was not needed in the
method and thus, this slot could be reused.
