What does 1> mean in Visual Studio output window?

Every line of my output window in Visual Studio 2005 is prepended with the characters "1>"

I don't know what happened but it didn't used to do this.

I have tried searching Google but searching for the string "1>" is problematic even if you search +1> (since the + is supposed to mean exact search).

So, what does this mean?... how do I get rid of it?

Thanks, ~Eric

Visual Studio supports parallel builds, using more than one CPU core to build a solution. The 1> prefix indicates the build number that produced the output. You only really get parallel builds when you have projects that are independent of each other.
