For some reason, my armory stops at block 233400 and won't go any further. Then it says "Connected" and goes green: http://vvcap.net/db/wm35f-O3i1eDW_sRVbqI.htp

In the past, I was able to fix this by rebuilding blockchain (e.g.: start from scratch). That doesn't work anymore!

This behavior goes with versions .87, .88 and .88+latest fix.

I suspect you recently changed your Bitcoin home directory (--datadir)...?  If so, it's because you changed where Bitcoin-Qt is maintaining the latest blockfiles, but left the old one intact where Armory finds it and thinks it's the correct one (and stops at 233400 because that's the last block in that directory).  

You either need to start Armory with the --satoshi-datadir=Z:\New\Path\to\bitcoinqt, or if you are in 0.88+, you can modify it in File->Settings.  

Let me know if that's not the problem.

Yes, today as a matter of fact :)

Possible. I have NOT removed previous wallet directory

Definitely no. That is where it used to stop previously.

You are right!!! I'm on the latest block now. Weird, it still says "2 months ago", but that's clearly BS: http://vvcap.net/db/hPxkh3esC8Nn_k8CeqeL.htp
