An empty array is valid input to count() and returns zero. This warning means the runtime value is null, scalar, or otherwise non-countable; find where the type contract broke, then fix or normalize it intentionally.
A debugger becomes useful when a crash that looked random becomes one source line, one call path, and one impossible value. Follow a complete GDB investigation from failure to verified fix.
