Line #7 is wrongly marked as executed. However, I am not sure whether this
issue is a duplication of Bug 83505. Therefore, I report it as an new one. 


When replacing Line #7 with the 'return', 'continue', or 'goto' statement, the
result is correct. 

or

When removing Line #5 is removed, the result is correct.
