And there is no way you should even attempt to write that code, the
logic behind it is so incredibly broken it's not funny.
Seriously did anyone even read it?

> int stringLgn = strlen(args[arg_count]);

_requires_ that args[arg_count] be null terminated.

> args[arg_count][strinLgn] = 0;

for the previous statement to work (strlen()), this must already hold
true.. 

The code was 100% redundant and all it did was introduce bugs.
