Are you executing the three lines one at a time or are you selecting all
three and running "Do it"?
Apparently when they are executed individually, the compiler doesn't
optimize to make str1 and str1 refer to the same String in memory.
But when you run all the lines together, the compiler decides that they can
share the object and the assertion fails.
