Is the sum of the reciprocals of all the primes an infinite number? If not what is the approximate number at which it starts trailing off into trivially small...

If you allow not only primes but all odd numbers then besides 3, 13 and 19, 2^p-p (p<10,000) is also prime for p=9 and 21 and 3-PRP for p=55, 261, 3415, 4185,...
