Palindromes in the decimal expansion of .

The string 944449 was 'first' found at position 75557 in the decimal expansion of  
counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted. [Patrick De Geest]

PS Note that 75557 is a palprime !
Both palindromes are of the 'depression' form (ref. H. Heinz).

My previous record palindrome found at a dito position is
 8257528 at position 5479745   [Patrick De Geest - October 24, 1999]
My record palindromic prime found at a dito position is
 9136319 at position 9128219   [PDG - December 8, 2002]
Note that 9128219 and 9136319 are two consecutive palprimes !

The smallest palindrome that I didn't find in the first 200 million digits of Pi is
 4620264 at position ? 

The largest palindrome that I discovered present in the first 100 million digits of Pi is
palindromic triangular nr 31 or  30416261403 at position 36111197 

Donald S. McDonald noted a 13 odd-digit palindromic number fragment
after the 1722773^th decimal place of number pi or
 7139999999317 at position 1722773 
The portion also contains a run of 14 consecutive odd digits
followed immediately by 11 even digits... perhaps very rare !
