//in another task:
mqtt_publish(client, "/test", "howdy!", 6, 0, 0);

I have had the same experience of crashes when referencing a global client object.

@CHERVA the suggestion from @tuanpmt is exactly what you tried correct?

Sorry I didn't have the time to update the issue.
It turns out I have to stop coding at 2AM...
I did extactly what @tuanpmt posted, but the location I was creating the mqtt client object was stupid.
The scope was being destroyed and that is why I was able to send one message and on the second I got the crash.

Sorry about that. Closing issue as it is clearly my bad.
