Gazebo crashes

[stonier]

Symptoms, root causes....and solutions!

This will not be good if we launch rocon simulations, but it crashes one in three.

@jihoonl can you start paying attention to details and scrape them for this issue?

It got this log when I started turtlebot_gazebo with no concert infra. It failed to start up gzclient

I guess next questions would be:

• Sometimes or every time?
• Does it fail similarly even without kobuki/turtlebot gazebo plugins getting called?
• Anything on gazebo issue trackers?
• Backtraces if possible.
