The trick is to just keep hitting spacebar (or maybe another key, not sure) every few seconds until the loader makes it past the point that it usually spews all that text to the screen.

I suspect this may be fixed with the BTX changes in 7.1 / 6.4. To submitter: if you do still see this problem with 7.1 let us know and we can reopen the PR.
