Numerical results suggest that the true error term is substantially smaller. %C A261613 The value of C (0.18071704711507) published in Zagier's 1982 paper suffers from a missing digit and some rounding errors. However his earlier 1979 abstract has a value (0.180717105) that is correct to 9 decimal places. - _Christopher E.
