Just pushed goatpig's fix into 0.93.0.70. Yeah weird version number. This will be 0.93.1 after we've confirmed it does what it's supposed to.
As usual, get it from the secure downloader within Armory (help->update software). T

If you want to forcefully trigger the issue, you can point Armory to a copy of the blockchain it wasn't sync'ed against. Core 0.10 chains will definitely trigger it.
Instead of doing that, I decided to see what would happen if I just deleted the most recent block file (blk00238.dat) entirely.Turns out that Armory can't repair that.
That's an interesting approach. First of all Armory is not supposed to recover from that. It expects to always start at the same or higher height than it saw on its last run. If it fails to find its highest known block, that's an acceptable condition to fail and ask for a factory reset. I don't think it should step away from that assumption at the risk of rolling back history or failing to detect newly available blocks, which are issues harder to identify.
The weird thing about your log is that you say you deleted the most recent block file, yet Armory detected 239 available block files, which deserves an investigation on its own.

As long as it works I'm happy. If you want to forcefully trigger the issue, you can point Armory to a copy of the blockchain it wasn't sync'ed against. Core 0.10 chains will definitely trigger it.

I've been running a4561d1 since my last post. No issues, however no "repair" log entries either (nor any other unusual log entries).

The unscanned block numbers 345607 to 345717 roughly correspond with the timestamps in the log file I sent you, that's why I'm guessing it wasn't on the top block.
Edit: sorry I'm wrong, 345607 was the most recent block after initially starting Armory (in the logs I sent). The odd logging symptom didn't start until a couple of hours later, so I'm not sure how to interpret the log pasted in above.

Is it displaying the correct top block now?
This looks like a benign symptom of the same general issue. Did you make sure Armory was displaying the proper top block?
I didn't, sorry, but I would guess it wasn't. I shut down Armory just before sending out those log files. I started it back up shortly after (and the symptom did not reoccur). Here's the log from that start:

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Ticket: ARMORY00000469, I did mention your name in the ticket body.

I've no idea if it's related to this branch, but I sent you the full logs just in case.
In the support channel? Ticket #? Or did you add a link to this thread, or asked for me by name? The migration to the new ticket system left the support channel in a weird state.

I don't have any of the "repair" messages yet, but something odd did happen. I've no idea if it's related to this branch, but I sent you the full logs just in case. The only thing odd was the content of the armorycpplog file, there were no other symptoms.
updated the fix some more, people running this fix please pull and build again.
Thanks, done.
You can quick search for the word "repair". If that shows up, you had the issue again, and the fix worked.
Will do (nothing yet).

I hit the BDM error yesterday. I'm running the 0.93-bugfix branch as of this afternoon. The initial rebuild finished without issue.
I'll post back if I see any of the new log messages in armorycpplog (none so far).

I keep getting this BDM error when starting my Armory. I have to rebuild the blockchain almost every time.
Is there a solution for this? It happens not only after catching up. Last time it appeared 3 hours after previous rebuilding of my blockchain so there was no significant catching up.

Are you running 0.93 or have you built and run the version goatpig mentioned?
0.93 which I downloaded directly via Armory installer.
You need to either build the version I mentioned or wait for the next release. This was mentioned in the OP.
