The bag file you are using has "holes" of ~0.5s in it every 10-15s (see the attached rxbag timeline).

It appears the hole with missing data at 45.8s leads to an error of the scanmatcher of hector_mapping. It might be possible to fix this error with parameter tuning, but a bagfile without data outages will probably also work better (given that hector_mapping works well in the first 45s of the bagfile, even despite the erroneous bagfile).

It appears the hole outage with missing data at 45.8s leads to an error of the scanmatcher of hector_mapping. The robot is rotating pretty fast at that time, which makes it hard to recover from this.
