Hi there:

Running Armory 0.87, and sometimes, when I haven't maximized it for a while, it starts again from scratch as if it had shut down on its own.

Is this a time-out function within Armory? Why would it shut down?
According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

That behavior doesn't sound familiar.  However, 0.87.2 and 0.88.1 both had bugs that would cause them to crash once every few days (every time the blockchain grows 128 MB).  This has been fixed in the latest version.  Don't know if it's related.

That was a ridiculously fast response, thanks!

I guess that might explain it, then. As long as it isn't an indication of any other nefarious thing that might be going on, it's all good.

I've held back from upgrading beyond 0.87 because I heard stories about later versions being unstable.

Grab the latest from the bitcoinarmory.com website.  It hasn't been perfect for everyone, but if you are nice to it, it is dramatically better than the previous versions (uses dramatically less RAM, starts up faster, has cool new backup features, etc).

Any known problems with running the latest version online and 0.87 offline?

Nope.  Until we get the new wallet format done, you can use something as ancient as 0.60 on the offline computer and it will still work with the latest version online (though those ancient versions will no longer work online)
