Follow-up Comment #5, bug #33125 (project make): Find the captured string attached (excerpt of a debug output). If you analyze it in a hex dumper, you'll see a number of LF / space combinations.
Because the splitting function does not split at LFs, it creates a number of single LF tokens split by spaces (which were skipped together as whitespace in the counting routine).
