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.
