Please don't use C++ comments - we stick to standard C90 comments.

That is hard to read.  Given the state of current compilers this old
trick is not needed.  We are reading code left to righta nd partially
reversing the direction is an uncommon pattern.  So please don't do.

The names are too similar - better use off2 or tmpoff instead of offset.

Sorry for nitpicky - thanks for your work.
