On the first run I got another error about missing headers, a suggestion to do a factory reset, and a forced close. I choose to not do a factory reset

This error marker is very aggressive, you shouldn't do a factory reset unless you run into it a few times in a row. I should do something about it really, at least not let it trigger on missing headers only.

Although I am running on 0.93.2 I can report as much. My desktop has been running Armory for more than a year now and I've had no issues or crashes at all. Zero. My laptop however, is a different issue. Whenever I wake it up from days of inactivity, Armory quickly throws a "missing headers" error and quits, only to return with full functionality on next launch. At first I didn't know if it was an issue with sleep or just it not being able to keep up with bitcoind but today for the first time it happened on the desktop.

We had a power failure yesterday and after restoration there was no internet until just about now. During all this time Armory had been running uninterrupted. When the internet came back, bitcoind began catching up with a day's worth of blocks, and Armory threw the "missing headers" error.

Could you please investigate if there are issues with Armory keeping up with bitcoind when it's behind by say 2-3 days and suddenly it gets a chance to catch up?

I am re-reporting this in the ongoing bigger Armory thread to keep a 0.93 error off the 0.94 post but since you are investigating this now, I figured I'd mention it here as well.
