"Warning: recursive print statement has occurred. [...]" for ROS_INFO, ROS_DEBUG, ...

edit

After tinkering around with the logging, I suddenly get the following warning after many ROS_DEBUG, ROS_INFO, ROS_DEBUG_STREAM, ..., statements.

For example I can run `rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node' and I get the following output statements (DEBUG enabled in config file):

Warning: recursive print statement has occurred.  Throwing out recursive print.
[DEBUG] [1559834260.178750673]: [/turtle1]: pos_x: 5.544445 pos_y: 5.544445 theta: 0.000000

Why does

Warning: recursive print statement has occurred.  Throwing out recursive print.

always come up and how do I get rid of it again?

System description

Even I did a fresh ROS install with

sudo apt-get purge 'ros-melodic-*' && sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-desktop-full

but it didn't solve the problem as I still get the warning message.

Minimal example

I made a package with a node source code of

#include <ros/ros.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

  ros::init(argc, argv, "compare");
  ros::NodeHandle nh;
  ROS_ERROR("Test1");
  ROS_DEBUG("Test2");
  ROS_INFO("Test3");

  return 0;
}

and from this I get when using rosrun ... the output of:
