move_base crashes when ClearCostmapRecovery tries to clear inflation layer

edit

Ubuntu 18.04, ROS Melodic, move_base 1.16.6

Solution: I solved it by removing 'inflation_layer' from ClearCostmapRecovery layer_names list.

Fail condition: ClearCostmapRecovery tries to clear inflation_layer.

Why I post here: I'm not sure if it's a bug or my mistake and where should I post it (here or on Github) but it was hard to find out what's wrong because move_base produced no log files and gdb debugger showed nothing helpful. So for documentation purposes I'll post it here.

Error messages: When launching move_base from launch file and fail condition occurs I get the error (note that specified log file wasn't created and yes I have tried to change log level via rqt to Debug but still no log file):

[move_base-20] process has died [pid 7137, exit code -11, cmd /opt/ros/melodic/lib/move_base/move_base __name:=move_base __log:=/home/combinac
ijus/.ros/log/d30d549c-e2c3-11ea-b8a6-24fd52462b1d/move_base-20.log].
log file: /home/combinacijus/.ros/log/d30d549c-e2c3-11ea-b8a6-24fd52462b1d/move_base-20*.log

When running via gdb debugger I get:

Minimal reproducible setup: Config and launch files. I was also using range_sensor_layer::RangeSensorLayer plugin but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with this bug so I removed it from config files to make it shorter but still keeping crash behaviour.
