Is something wrong with this sequence?

I was looking for sequences to extend, when I came across this one:


ID Number: A059856
URL:       http://www.research.att.com/projects/OEIS?Anum=A059856
Sequence:  5,77,215,66490
Name:      Write down decimal expansion of Euler-Mascheroni constant; 
divide up
              into chunks of minimal length so that chunks are increasing 
numbers and
              do not begin with 0.
Example:   0.5772156649015328606065120900824024310421593359399235...

Perhaps I am misinterpreting the definition, but it seems that the sequence 
should be

5,7,72,156,664, etc, instead of what it is.

Any thoughts?
