Some of these things also cause allocations, so you're measuring a lot
more than just the size of thingy.  Using (current-custodian)
(current-input-port) and (current-output-port) gives me a more sane
answer of 80 bytes.

This is also measuring the overhead of a cons cell as well.  If I put
a constant as each element of the list, I get slightly less than 32
bytes for each cons cell, which seems about right for a 64-bit
platform.
