Originally I was getting crashes in the Text constructor to the lack
of thread safety on Node,Drawable and StateSet addParent.  This is now
mutexed so "shouldn't" be giving problems.. at least I don't get
problems with it any more.

I'll test it once again to see if I can knock it over.  Perhaps its a
different problems to the addParent.  Could you try with a debug
version so we can get where abouts within the Text constructor its
crashing.

Thanks,
Robert.
