Literal and static values can be evaluated and initialized in multiple
locations: the class initialize; and object initialized; the "run" method.
Where things are initialized may depend on compiler flags (such as --module-static)
and what kind of object is being initialized. I don't remember exactly what
happens when; it has changed over the years.

So it is possible the Android environment may cause some step in the initialization
to be skipped or things to be done in the wrong order.
