[map_server-1] process has died [pid 14292, exit code 255

edit

Hi,

I'm trying to launch few ros nodes with the following launch file. For some reason, the map_server node keeps dying immediately after the launch (roslaunch <package_name> amcl.launch). I don't see anything getting logged into the mentioned log files. Need some help to figure out what is happening.

Thanks, M.
