From Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009: (Start)
The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=3,n=6) ~ exp(-x)/x^3*(1 - 21/x + 335/x^2 - 5000/x^3 + 74524/x^4 - 1139292/x^5 + ...) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 and A163932 for more information.

FORMULA
a(n) = A051338(n, 2)*(-1)^n; e.g.f.: (log(1-x))^2/(2*(1-x)^6).
If we define f(n,i,a)=sum(binomial(n,k)*stirling1(n-k,i)*product(-a-j,j=0..k-1),k=0..n-i), then a(n) = |f(n,2,6)|, for n>=1. - Milan Janjic, Dec 21 2008
