You might want to try and get a stack trace with gdb. If it turns out
that you have vector iterators or OpenThreads in the stack trace, then
it's probably a question of calling setText() while another thread is
running the draw traversal.
To be safe with all threading models that OSG supports, setText on an
osgText object must be called in the update traversal. I've run into
this lately myself, and the tricky part is that it won't necessarily
crash each time you call setText(), it depends on timing issues.
Using an update callback fixed it for me. I just have a setText()
method in my callback class which saves the new text but does not set
it just yet. I then attach an instance of the callback class to the
osgText object, and in the callback's operator() method I call setText
on the osgText object (gotten from casting the drawable given to
operator()). This guarantees that the actual osgText::setText() call
will be done in the update traversal, and seems to work great for me
on Windows and Linux. If you need a more concrete code example just
ask, but it's pretty simple.
Then again I may be completely off track here. In any case, getting a
stack trace is the first thing to do in order to diagnose the problem
correctly.
Good luck,
J-S
