basically: don't use [text2d] if you don't have any specific reasons to
do so. use [text3d] whenever you can.

which is not suprising, since both objects are really the same and only
provide av different interface to the user.

never encountered something like this (i have seen and run lot's of
installations with [text3d] in fullscreen)
are you sure it is related to [text3d], and not something else?
does fullscreen work in general?
does it still crash if you replace all the [text3d]s by a dummy
abstraction [textdummy] (inlet->outlet)?

could you try to do a backtrace, to see where the carsh happened?

$ gdb --args /pat/to/pd
% run
[...crash]
% bt
