This is normal -- the new processor has to rebuild all routing protocols when 
it comes online from RPR or RPR+ mode.  Even with SSO mode, if NSF is not 
configured with all peers on all protocols, the sessions are broken down and 
rebuilt.

I recently had event very much like this. In my case, even SSO/NSF dropped some 
adjacencies during this switchover.

If it actually crashed, you may want to investigate whether a crashinfo file 
was left behind.

This is normal, as part of the standby supervisor finishing initialization

For more information about uptime for given processors, try show redundancy -- 
it should give total chassis uptime, last switchover time, number of 
switchovers, and time on active processor.
