Number of arguments *to what*? Isn't that the size of args[] instead?

What if args_count is 0? Given that you place no restriction on the
way this can be called, that'd be entirely legitimate, and you'd
corrupt something you're not supposed to touch.

I find this stuff absolutely unreadable. You're fishing the SID in a
random position of a random structure, without any documentation of
how this is supposed to work. This really needs a wrapper that hides
this implementation detail.
