[Iron] - Admittance controller regulary crashes with segfault on activation / configuration

Describe the bug

In order to change the kinematic tip and there for the admittant frame I regulary: deactivate -> set new params -> reconfigure -> activate the controller. Sometimes the controller crashes with a segfault.

See #1175 for the why I need to reconfigure the controller

Output:

[ros2_control_node-14] Segmentation fault (Address not mapped to object [0x72f6800fc3c8])

To Reproduce

Not sure. I have a rather complex setup. But basically:

Setup admittance controller with chained jtc
Run the deactivate -> set new params -> reconfigure -> activate steps. (I adapt the stiffness + the kinematic tip frame + the admittance frame)
Controller should crash in some cases

Expected behavior

Controller should not crash

Environment (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Version Iron - binary install
But RCLCPP with race condition fix: https://github.com/cellumation/rclcpp/tree/action_iron_backport (Issue happens also with default rclcpp)

EDIT: This behavior also occurs with the normal JTC instead of the scaled JTC

It looks like this issue is related to reconfiguring the controller and does not occur always but only in like 2-3 of 10 tries.

Edit:

Issue seems origin somewhere in the AdmittanceRule implementation:
