While starting up a node (commit 6fc6325), it was apparently taking curiously long to load the ban list. RPC (in warmup mode) kept returning `Loading banlist...`. When I checked the log I happened upon the following:

```
2016-05-30 07:35:00 init message: Loading banlist...

```

I think it's a matter of the init message not being updated for a new initialization phase after loading the banlist.

    if (fCheckPOW && !CheckProofOfWork(block.GetHash(), block.nBits, consensusParams))
        return state.DoS(50, false, REJECT_INVALID, "high-hash", false, "proof of work failed");
    return true;
}
bool CheckBlock(const CBlock& block, CValidationState& state, const Consensus::Params& consensusParams, bool fCheckPOW, bool fCheckMerkleRoot)
{
    
    if (block.fChecked)
        return true;
    
    
    if (!CheckBlockHeader(block, state, consensusParams, fCheckPOW))
        return false;
    
    if (fCheckMerkleRoot) {
        bool mutated;
        uint256 hashMerkleRoot2 = BlockMerkleRoot(block, &mutated);
        if (block.hashMerkleRoot != hashMerkleRoot2)
            return state.DoS(100, false, REJECT_INVALID, "bad-txnmrklroot", true, "hashMerkleRoot mismatch");
        
        
        
        if (mutated)
            return state.DoS(100, false, REJECT_INVALID, "bad-txns-duplicate", true, "duplicate transaction");
    }
