 first is a timeout value in seconds, and the second is a memory limit
 in megabytes.  Either one can be @scheme[#f] for disabling the

 Note that these limits apply to the creation of the sandbox
 environment too --- even @scheme[(make-evaluator 'scheme/base)] can
 fail if the limits are strict enough.  Therefore, to avoid surprises
 you need to catch errors that happen when the sandbox is created.
 
-so, for example, if the memory that is required to

 When limits are set, @scheme[call-with-limits] (see below) is wrapped
 around each use of the evaluator, so consuming too much time or memory
 results in an exception.  Change the limits of a running evaluator
