Just that the first indication of end-of-XLOG was finding a stale page
header in a recycled XLOG file.  The above looks fine to me.  (The XLOG
recovery code tends to err on the side of verboseness... there are a lot
of messages it can print that might boggle a novice but are not really
indicative of problems.)
