Int objects aren't allocated individually; malloc() is used to get single "int blocks", which contain room for about 1000 ints at a time, and these blocks are carved up internally by intobject.c. So it isn't possible to reclaim the space for a single int, so "tail" doesn't mean anything useful in this context. > FWIW, Unicode free lists have a cap to limit the number of entries > in the list to 1024. The Unicode freelist is more like the frameobject freelist that way (it is possible to reclaim the space for an individual Unicode string or frame object).
