a(n) = coefficient of y^2 in sum_0^n sigma_{n, k}(n - k)!(y - 1)^k on y where the sigma_{n, k} have generating function sigma(t, u) = (1 - 2t^2(u^2) - 2t^2(1 + t)u^3 + 3t^4(u^4))(1 - tu)^(-1)(1 - (1 + 2t)u - tu^2 + t^3(u^3))^(-1). - Barbara Haas Margolius (margolius(AT)math.csuohio.edu), Feb 17 2001
