Publishing PCL *Coefficients

edit

I start the publisher

  pub = nh.advertise<sensor_msgs::PointCloud2> ("projected_inliers", 1);

I run ransac using the cylinder model

     .

pcl::ModelCoefficients::Ptr coefficients2 (new pcl::ModelCoefficients);

     .
     .

seg.segment (*inliers2, *coefficients2);

I print the coefficients fine to the terminal.

std::cerr << "Cylinder coefficients: " << *coefficients2 << std::endl;

pubCyl.publish (*coefficients2);

But I can't seem to publish the coefficients2 successfully. It doesn't throw any errors but when I run rostopic echo /Cylinder_coef it slows my computer down to a stall if I don't end it rather quickly... I'm not sure if this has to do with it being a pointer and it somehow breaks or if I'm missing something else.
