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.

break;
                }
                
                
                if (!mapBlockIndex.empty() && mapBlockIndex.count(chainparams.GetConsensus().hashGenesisBlock) == 0)
                    return InitError(_("Incorrect or no genesis block found. Wrong datadir for network?"));
                
                if (!InitBlockIndex(chainparams)) {
                    strLoadError = _("Error initializing block database");
                    break;
                }
                
                if (fTxIndex != GetBoolArg("-txindex", DEFAULT_TXINDEX)) {
                    strLoadError = _("You need to rebuild the database using -reindex-chainstate to change -txindex");
                    break;
                }
                
                
                if (fHavePruned && !fPruneMode) {
                    strLoadError = _("You need to rebuild the database using -reindex to go back to unpruned mode.  This will redownload the entire blockchain");
                    break;
                }
                if (!fReindex && chainActive.Tip() != NULL) {
                    uiInterface.InitMessage(_("Rewinding blocks..."));
                    if (!RewindBlockIndex(chainparams)) {
                        strLoadError = _("Unable to rewind the database to a pre-fork state. You will need to redownload the blockchain");
                        break;
                    }
                }
                uiInterface.InitMessage(_("Verifying blocks..."));
