Others already explained what is happening, but I'd suggest another approach
that works without C99's long long type simply cast the expression to
off_t, which will automatically be the correct 64 bit type, regardless of
whether you use C89 or C99.

Casting the expression won't help, if it's already overflowed as an
int.
