rosmaster.threadpool ERROR

edit

I am attempting to use the navigation stack in Jade on Ubuntu 14.04. While robot is driving towards goal, the cost map and point cloud disappear permanently and navigation stops. I need to close the launch to restart. The error only occurs when the robot is running(it is following path).

I am finding an error in the master log I think is the cause. See below. The error does not seem to correlate to the line immediately above where the errors starts. I mean that the INFO being published when the error occurs is different each time. The other log files have errors relating to the robot no longer being localized.

Can you help me trace the cause of this error? Restarting PC didn't help. Rebuilding entire project didn't help. Running rosclean purge (deleting log files) seemed to help in that in the duration of navigation prior to crash changed from very quick (1 to 3 seconds) after starting towards goal to running OK for many (10 or more) seconds. It will occasionally make it to the goal successfully, just across the room.
