Also, are you sure that this value is correct on both 32-bit and 64-bit
machines, or does a gtree node include a void* which changes how much
memory it uses based on platform?  Even adding a comment pointing to the
internal glib implementation that you were copying from would be
helpful, so that it doesn't feel quite so magic.
