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.

chainActive.SetTip(pindexNew);
    
    nTimeBestReceived = GetTime();
    mempool.AddTransactionsUpdated(1);
    cvBlockChange.notify_all();
    static bool fWarned = false;
    std::vector<std::string> warningMessages;
    if (!IsInitialBlockDownload())
    {
        int nUpgraded = 0;
        const CBlockIndex* pindex = chainActive.Tip();
        for (int bit = 0; bit < VERSIONBITS_NUM_BITS; bit++) {
            WarningBitsConditionChecker checker(bit);
            ThresholdState state = checker.GetStateFor(pindex, chainParams.GetConsensus(), warningcache[bit]);
            if (state == THRESHOLD_ACTIVE || state == THRESHOLD_LOCKED_IN) {
                if (state == THRESHOLD_ACTIVE) {
                    strMiscWarning = strprintf(_("Warning: unknown new rules activated (versionbit %i)"), bit);
                    if (!fWarned) {
                        AlertNotify(strMiscWarning);
                        fWarned = true;
                    }
                } else {
                    warningMessages.push_back(strprintf("unknown new rules are about to activate (versionbit %i)", bit));
                }
            }
        }
