bwhahahahahha.

the reason was eo add methods.

obj = eo_add(..., text_set(obj, "x"), color_set(obj, 1, 2, 3, 4));

because eo4 changes to pass obj into every method - that means obj has to be
filled and defined with the RIGHT eo id before the extra text_set() is called
because it passes it in, thus you have to pass a ptr to the eiod so it can be
filled in first so it is correct for the following calls within the eo_add.
