[ros-users] SegFault in TransformBroadcaster

Hi all,

I get the following strange behaviour when using a TransformBroadcaster:

I've got the following code, as in the tf tutorial:

// [this is actually a member variable of class RosMasterModule]
tf::TransformBroadcaster m_TransformBroadcaster;

tf::Transform transform;
transform.setOrigin( tf::Vector3(0, 0, 0) );
transform.setRotation( tf::Quaternion(0, 0, 0) );
m_TransformBroadcaster.sendTransform(tf::StampedTransform(transform,
ros::Time::now(), "world", "turtle1"));

When I use the code in my app's main(), everything works fine. However,
if I use it inside an object instance, the program crashes with a
segfault. Here's the backtrace:

#0 __memcpy_ssse3 () at ../sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/memcpy-ssse3.S:1282

When publishing the same topic by hand without the TransformBroadcaster,
everything works fine as well.

Any ideas what could be the error?

I'm Using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit & ros-unstable (same effect on cturle).

Cheers,
