Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Reproduce the crash with the provided Maven command, then inspect MustCallConsistencyAnalyzer.java around lines 1949-1998 and CFAbstractValue.java around lines 594 and 782, where the stack trace points. Use the attached output and EnumMultiset.java as the failing case. Done means the ResourceLeakChecker compiles Guava without this NullPointerException.
