It is an approximation to an approximation.

The first approximation is 89*ln(2) times the sum of 1/i*ln(i) where i goes from 2 to sqrt(2^89-1) and values where i is a power of 2 are excluded. If...

It should be

89 * ln(2) * [ln(ln(sqrt(2^89-1))) - ln(ln(3))]

which is 326. A little closer. It will always be high because it assumes that zeros occur even when the base used is a power of 2....
