There are clearly lots of issues here and implementing free introduces a lot more, especially with the possibility of an asynchronous free or more than one thread calling free at around the same time.

Also as these types are serializable it means you have to consider the case where you deserialize to buf == null && isFree == false for example. On that point, it looks to me that this code needs a readObject anyway (for several reasons).
