hi Klaus,
Something's going wrong there. When your publisher is restarted, it
should re-advertise with the master, which should send the new
publisher list to your subscriber, which should then re-connect to
your publisher.
You can test this behavior with roscpp_tutorials/talker and
roscpp_tutorials/listener; no matter in what order they're
(re)started, listener will always connect to talker.
Can you tell us something about your publisher and subscriber? Is
there anything unusual about your subscriber?
