whatever you try to do here, it is wrong.

You take a reference as input (Quota &quota), store it in a static and
later on just increment the static. Whatever lies behind Quota &quota
stored in the static will wrongly read and/or overridden/corrupted !?
(If you tried to use paulcache, it is not used.)
