I sure hope that part of your solution is to find those responsible
and see that they are fired.

P.S.  This function used to be called nargs() and it was removed
from PDP-11 UNIX when the PDP-11/70 came out, precisely because it
became clear that programs that relied on it would have problems
when ported to new machines.  It is hard to imagine anyone taking
the trouble to implement a count(&args) function without realizing
this!
