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.
