My normal node was synced to block 1422735.

Then I ran fast catchup to 11460000#UULY5I7LDPBZM4TX24BFPHXNAXGDCGIMKEPPPA4WYWYH3EYWGINQ

Fast catchup successfully downloads and verifies all the accounts and then downloads 1000 blocks.

After that, the node continues syncing from 1422735 again.

I thought that the node would only need to get blocks after the catchup point and I would be synced soon.

This is on `Debian`, using `apt-get` and `algod` and `goal`.
