I thanks Zak Seidov and Peter Pein for extending A127181.

I am glad to see that the few terms I have calculated are correct.

As for the asymptotics:
The nth term of A127180, for n >=2, is greater than, and probably
close to, 2*sqrt(n!), obviously.
I don't know if this can be improved upon, as far as asymptotics of 
A127180 are concerned.
As for A127181, the little bit that each term is greater than 
2*sqrt(product of earlier terms) perhaps will blow up later on. So I will 
not venture to say anything about this sequence's rate of ascension.

Thanks,
Leroy Quet
