this happens when there's no objects in the recycler, $quota_utils:bi_create
tries to call $recycler:_create if the permissions aren't that of a wizard,
while $recycler:_create sees there's nothing in the recycler and calls
$quota_utils:bi_create, which loops back again. I think a wizard can just
make a bunch of objects and then recycle them, as long as you keep a few
recyclables around this should be fine, this was made to stop number
spamming on Lambda, but then again they have about 18000 recyclables, so
never thought about this problem.
