The version number of the kernel that was built. Probably the
system with the `#2' was built two times with `config -n' which
doesn't blow away the ``version'' file (and the other files)
in the ../../compile/kernel_name directory. If it works (may not 
always), the subsequent `make' is usually a lot faster as there 
is less compiling to perform.
