"possible" is still the keyword here and in this case it will never overflow.

You can of course edit the code to silence the warning. I'll fix this in my
end by letting the 'excess' variable be a size_t type since it only needs to
hold a value up to BUFSIZE big (which is 16K).

In this case it can, since very few bits if the 64bit value is used... :-)
