Erdős problem 341

Let A={a1<<ak}A=\{a_1 < \cdots < a_k\} be a finite set of integers and extend it to an infinite sequence A={a1<a2<}\overline{A}=\{a_1 < a_2 < \cdots \} by defining an+1a_{n+1} for nkn \geq k to be the least integer exceeding ana_n which is not of the form ai+aja_i + a_j with i,jni,j \leq n. Is it true that the sequence of differences am+1ama_{m+1}-a_m is eventually periodic?
