Signficance of #<number> in uname -v

Hi,
Can someone tell me what the number means after the pound sign in uname -v ? I just upgraded two boxes to 8.3 using identical sup files and I get:
Code: 
  FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE #1: Wed Apr 18 17:07:06 EDT 2012     
[email]root@www.bio.fsu.edu[/email]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WWW

Code: 
  FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE #2: Wed Apr 18 17:12:54 EDT 2012     
[email]root@bio-serv4.bio.fsu.edu[/email]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BIO-SERV4

I'm curious why one says '#1' and the other '#2'.

Thanks,
Alex
 
This is the incremental kernel build number. Depending on how you've set up the make clean phases or whether you're removing /usr/obj, the #1, #2, etc is the number of times you've done a make buildkernel on the machine.

You've done a make buildkernel once on www, and twice on bio-serv4.
