FWIW, after reading your message I have upgraded my KDE SC from 4.4.2 to 
4.4.3. After using 4.4.3 for the past few days without any problems I 
remembered your message.

I cannot confirm your observations. Quite the opposite. On openSUSE 11.2 
upgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 does not seem to introduce any problems or 
instabilities. So, as far as I can tell, the problems you are 
experiencing are either not caused by KDE but by your distro or you are 
using KDE PIM differently than me. I am mostly using KMail only, but I 
had a quick look at the address book and I didn't see or notice anything 
unusual.
