There are only two instances of X_NOTICE in the server today, both seem
to indicate an unusual situation which the server has recovered
from. I'd suggest that this should probably be X_INFO instead, which is
what all of the regular startup messages use.

Otherwise, this looks like a fix that might keep people from
mis-interpreting this message.

With X_NOTICE -> X_INFO: Reviewed-by: Keith Packard <keithp at keithp.com>
