That is not how it works.

PRIV_CALL is for caching things for the next time this call is executed.

The canonical example is a caching a compiled regexp.

What you need is a "PRIV_SESS" or "PRIV_REQ" variable, and I'm beating
my head against the wall trying to find the best way to implement
that as we're speaking...
