Dear all,

I am missing message when subscribing to /rosout

_log_sub = _node.subscribe( "/rosout", 100, &ROSHandler::logCallback,
this );

I do call ros::spinOnce() approximately every 20ms. When I call spinOnce
as fast as possible (in a loop) then no messages are lost. But then my
app needs 60% of the CPU so that is not really desirable.

If messages are coming in at > 50Hz, one would expect to drop messages here, once the buffer of 100 fills up. No? Just trying to establish if there is a bug here or not. I suppose a way to check the size of the incoming queue would be nice... there is a ticket on this already.
