When you build a kernel, a new vers.c file is created by running
/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh.

That script is also responsible for creating a "version" file that
increments every time you build a kernel in the same directory.

You too could have high build number if you were never to delete
the kernel build directory (by default instruction
/usr/src/sys/arch/$(machine)/compile/GENERIC) or being carefull about
keeping the "version" file.
