R help - Oct 2010 - debugging

I'm attempting to learn how to use the debug function to find the values of
some variables.  I've found a couple of documents describing the basics and
they show examples that the debugger returns

"Browse[1]>"


but for some reason when I follow the examples I get

"Browse[2]>"


What is the "2" telling me ... why am I getting it and does it matter?

Thanks

It is a measure of depth of some sort.  I think it is supposed to be how 
deep you are into nested calls to the browser, but it seems to count 
each invocation twice.  (If you call the same debugged function from 
within the browser, you'll probably see [4].)  I imagine it's a bug, but
it's a relatively harmless one.
