Coverity complains that because of how 'offset' is initialized to 0 (zero), the resulting math and comparison on rem is pointless. For the "while (rem < 0)", the value of 'rem' must be between 0 and 86399 (SECS_PER_DAY = 86400ULL). Thus, the addition of offset (0) does nothing and the while (rem < 0) is pointless. For the "while (rem > SECS_PER_DAY)", we have the same issue.
