+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #243485 +++

Version:           4.4
OS:                Linux (Linux 2.6.34-12-default i686 - OpenSUSE 11.3)

Large vCard address book was successfully imported from KDE4.3.5 to KDE4.4.4.
Some time after this, I noted that large (90%) sections of the addressbook had
disappeared from the Kontact/KAddressbook view. Other entries had been mangled
- bits of other records interpolated, for example.

Checking the $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf, I found that it had been
truncated from 266KB to 13KB. I restored from backup. KAddressBook showed all
contacts. Some time later, the data loss was repeated.

This has since happened again. It is not associated with any write process
against the file. Either KAB or Akonadi seems not to be relied upon not to
randomly erase data.

(I guess it's reproducible - if I wait long enough it'll happen.)
