Empty string in the middle of argv?  Quite legal...
; cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        while (argc--) {
                printf("<%d:%s>", strlen(*argv), *argv);
                argv++;
        }
        printf("\n");
        return 0;
}
; gcc foo.c
; ./a.out a b
<7:./a.out><1:a><1:b>
; ./a.out a "" b
<7:./a.out><1:a><0:><1:b>
;

IOW, it's trivial to arrange - len can be 0 just fine...
