Continuing the discussion from 0.17.1rc1 reindex-chainstate, assumevalid=0:
So this was running 0.17.1rc1 with a full reindex, assumevalid=0, and a full txindex in place. Bitcoingold.conf was:
[main]
debug=1
assumevalid=0
reindex=1
txindex=1
The start of the run:
2019-09-29T15:30:16Z
2019-09-29T15:30:16Z Bitcoin Gold version v0.17.1rc1 (release build)
2019-09-29T15:30:16Z InitParameterInteraction: parameter interaction: -whitelistforcerelay=1 -> setting -whitelistrelay=1
2019-09-29T15:30:18Z Validating signatures for all blocks.
Chain sync was finished and up-to-date here:

For a run time of about 12:40 (12 hours 40 minutes.
This is good news! I can confirm that the rebuild error when running a reindex with assumevalid=0 is gone under Windows. This is relevant because I recently (falsely) reported that rebuilds were failing, but that turned out to be because of a couple of bad sectors on my own hard drive.
In the interest of thoroughness, I ran several rebuilds with asssumevalid=0, both with reindex and reindex-chainstate without and with a fully build txindex; in all situations, the rebuild works and the bug is gone.
