(In reply to computer approximation by Charlie)

Researching this problem shows the actual answer is 6 / pi^2. This evaluates to approximately  .607927101854028, so there was more accumulated rounding error, combined with probably factor values left out at the cutoff, than I had allowed for in my claimed choice of precision representation.
