StackOverflow error on index files

Start with the github/codeql-action/analyze@v2 entry point and the logged CodeQL database finalize command. Reproduce the failure around xml/tools/index-files.cmd and properties/tools/index-files.cmd, then determine what change is needed for indexing to complete without the Java StackOverflowError.

Suddenly, Perform CodeQL Analysis step has started failing on index files step.

github/codeql-action/analyze@v2

I've tried using v3 too with no luck

Also, I've tried increasing thread heap size from 2M all the way to 512M with no luck
