I took a quick look at the launch files involved. I'm assuming you are using Cturtle or Diamondback. If so, the Stage world file maze.world looks like it hasn't been upgraded to the new world file format. For info on how to do that, see stage_navigation. A bad world file will cause Stage to crash, so this may be the source of your problems.

stageros is the ROS wrapper around Stage that actually exposes data from Stage on ROS topics. If you want ROS integration with Stage, you will have to run stageros.

Update: I checked out the bosch packages required to run this tutorial. You actually have to upgrade 3 of the files in the bosch_worlds directory before the explore.launch file will run properly. I've made a patch to bosch_worlds available in my Dropbox. Applying those changes to the 3 files in bosch_worlds allowed the explore.launch file to run without modification (after rosmake explore_stage of course)
