I have checked most of the constants in the object model that I could find,
but couldn't find a constant for minimum object size.  Would it be safe to
assume that the minimum object size is just one word smaller than the size
indicated by the GC_HEADER_OFFSET()?  (I'm reluctant to assume a size of two
words, because if a GC has enough extra data in each object to make the
header, say, 4 words, then from what I understand, the minimum object size
would be 3 words).
