Ok, I am not Borwein^2 and assuming their result the suggested
formula can not be correct (BTW: the assumptions for AbelPlana
are not satisfied).

For the numerical question I would guess: something similar to
slowly convergent integrals happens and Maple's accellerators
can not handle it (not even in high precision), exp(-10^5) is
too 'close' to one (for larger n).
