* Emacs version number (trunk build) problem

I found a weird problem with my Emacs build (from trunk).
I grabbed fresh Emacs source with cvs, and the first build got number
23.0.60.2, and several days later I built again after "cvs update", and
the version number became 23.0.60.4.

Is this deliberate or is there a bug?

This is how the Emacs buildsystem works since more than 14 years.  The
build number is incremented whenever Emacs is dumped, based on which
executable files exit in the build directory.

My memory may be corrupted, but if not, I think build number starts from 1
and increases by 1, and what I found with the latest source is that

the 1st build got number 23.0.60.2
&
the 2nd build 23.0.60.4

that is what I think weird.

MFG,

It depends on which executable files exist in the build directory.

I believe there is a bug:
