Well, the same parameter is used for evaluating the whole program
(which for you is just `scheme/base') and for later evaluations; but
you can change the limit later.  But I see now that there's a problem
with the arguments to `set-eval-limits' that I should fix.

In any case, I think that it can do a little better, but not much,
because, for example, custodians cannot account for runtime.
