This is a different thing! ospfd learns the default route from another
router and installs it into the routing table with prio 32. Prio 32 is
the prio of OSPF in OpenBSD.

The route learned via ospf is not used in this case since you have a
static default route.

Did you save the console output and daemon log from the restart?
Can you share it?

It could mean that the "old" ospfd did not properly clean up it's routes
and the "new" ospfd removed the routes from the "old" one.

Would I be in charge of running this network I would want to know where
these alien routes come from. But I think it did not affect your network
badly since you did not mention an outage. ;-)
