/odom stops sending tf data

I am having problems with my own robot driver because after some time it stops sending odometry data. I checked the tf_monitor and I can see how the net_delay is slowly increasing until I can see the following error:

RESULTS: for /base_link to /map
Chain is: /base_link -> /odom -> /map
Net delay     avg = 6.87636: max = 7.88385

Frames:
Frame: /base_link published by /auriga_robot_base Average Delay: -1.96377 Max Delay: 0
Frame: /odom published by /slam_gmapping Average Delay: -2.00705 Max Delay: 0

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'tf::ConnectivityException'
  what():  Could not find a common time /map and /base_link.

And the net_delay between /base_link and /odom is:

RESULTS: for /base_link to /odom
Chain is: /base_link -> /odom
Net delay     avg = 185.881: max = 186.893

Node: /slam_gmapping 20.0204 Hz, Average Delay: -0.0422399 Max Delay: 0

I have been also checking my robot's node and the only suspicious thing i saw was:

[DEBUG] Socket 15 closed with (ERR|HUP|NVAL) events 24: Broken pipe

Any clue?

Is this all running on the same computer? Do you get the same net delay behavior when checking between /base_link and /odom?

Hi Eric. Only rviz is running in a separate PC. I tested the net delay between /base_link and /odom and it is also increasing slowly but it doesn't send any exception.

I answer myself. I fixed just updating the odometry information slowier. It was a hardware requirement.
