Version 0.1.1 not publishing at full rate #6

On a robot I'm using with an LMS111, when I use the public package (ros-hydro-lms1xx-0.1.1-0precise-20141016-1522-+0000) the data on the LIDAR topic is published at about 0.4 Hz (and drops out occasionally). When I download the latest source from git and compile it, the topic shows up at 50 Hz and everything works as expected.

I would appreciate if the latest code could be released in binary form to avoid having to check out master. I'm also happy to provide any debugging information necessary to determine why this issue is fixed by the commits on September 23, as it's not immediately obvious to me why those changes resolve the issue.

Happy to, but I'd like to understand the resolution as well. When you wind the source checkout back to the 0.1.1 tag, does the issue return?

Also, since you're doing some active on-hardware testing, I'm wondering if we can get a resolution to #5 into the next release as well.

Winding the source checkout to the 0.1.1 tag results in correct behaviour.

Well that's odd— in that case it seems like this is less to do with a change that's happened in the source repo, and more some peculiarity of how the debian package is built.
