Don,
I'm quite sleep-deprived and at the moment, so whatever I'm about to say may not make too much sense... We'll see...
First, the latex. I wish you'd invest some time in it—it's really not difficult once you get the basics and it would help everybody out. If i've followed your parentheses correctly, this might be right:
I put your value of x,
2.566,543,832,171,388,844,467,529
in your equation,
((sin(x^(1/2)))^(-1)-1)^(-1) / ((pi)^2 + (ln(ln(2*((2* (x^(-1) +1))^(-1) +1))))^(-1))-1
using PERL at 100 digit accuracy and got:
-0.000000000040019755626388018650144802402308556
Solving recursively gives these results:
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 62 71 100
Which has diverged by 62.
The incriminating x is shown here:

This is pretty much what Hal got above.
