Hi John,

Yes, 4.3.3 would be perfect.

4.4.0 contains the new IRA (integrated register allocator), and it has had very 
little testing on real world programs.

Testing on both would be ideal, but 4.3.3 is being used now, so I would rather 
find out about the volatile bugs on stuff that's being used now.
