COMMENTS
Harland proves the conjecture of Martin & Pomerance that a(n) = n exp ((1 + o(1))(log log n)^2 log log log n) for almost all n, as well as a generalization to k-th iterates. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 21 2011

EXAMPLE
a(11) = 4 is in the sequence because A002322(11) = 10 and A002322(10) = 4.
