on a 64-bit machine; I would expect each of them to allocate 24 bytes (two a-digits and a tag in the first one, two slots and a tag in the second).
So, can you explain what's going on?

We’ve been over this before… These objects are allocated as movable objects in the heap where 24 bytes are allocated in the fromspace and 24 bytes are allocated in the tospace. Its just a fair accounting of the space reserved for the object.
