Test catkin package: https://github.com/stonier/ros_testing

Namespacing for public and private is broken in a particular configuration: https://github.com/stonier/ros_testing/blob/master/namespaced_manager.launch

The results of that launch file put public and private topics in quite disparate places:

/dude/private /family/public 

where it should probably be

/dude/private /public 

I have three other namespace variations there, all of which behave as expected.

• https://github.com/stonier/ros_testing/blob/master/direct.launch
• https://github.com/stonier/ros_testing/blob/master/namespaced_everything.launch
• https://github.com/stonier/ros_testing/blob/master/namespaced_differently.launch

Seems to be only a problem if the nodelet's parent namespace is the root, '/'.
