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 (!pindex->IsValid(BLOCK_VALID_TREE)) {
                
                return;
            }
            if (pindex->nStatus & BLOCK_HAVE_DATA || chainActive.Contains(pindex)) {
                if (pindex->nChainTx)
                    state->pindexLastCommonBlock = pindex;
            } else if (mapBlocksInFlight.count(pindex->GetBlockHash()) == 0) {
                
                if (pindex->nHeight > nWindowEnd) {
                    
                    if (vBlocks.size() == 0 && waitingfor != nodeid) {
                        
                        nodeStaller = waitingfor;
                    }
                    return;
                }
                vBlocks.push_back(pindex);
                if (vBlocks.size() == count) {
                    return;
                }
            } else if (waitingfor == -1) {
                
                waitingfor = mapBlocksInFlight[pindex->GetBlockHash()].first;
            }
        }
    }
}
}
