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.

Argh, well caught. Casting the first constant in above expression does the
job though.
