Klaus,
Are you starting your roscore seperately and is it staying up when you
restart your publisher?
This is on speculation, but the symptoms are consistent. If you are
starting your publisher first with roslaunch it will automatically launch
roscore. However when you take down that first roslaunch the roscore will
come down with it. This will orphan any running nodes, and they will not
work properly once they have lost contact with the master. If you are
relying on roslaunch to start the roscore for you, I would suggest manually
starting it separately so that you can make sure it stays up when you
restart other nodes.
