Hi Theresa,
You report to bugs:

One odd thing I notice is that the machine listed in your bug report,
glauert.mit.edu, appears to be a Linux machine, yet the hostinfo online
database seems to think it's a Sun.
Unfortunately it's going to be hard to make headway on this if we
can't reproduce the problem. I'd suggest contacting Athena Consulting
and working with them to try to narrow this down. If they can find a
reproducible way to trigger this or consistent failure modes, they can
pass the details back to me for forwarding to the Mathworks (I'm the
Matlab maintainer on Athena).
You can reach them online by typing "olc", or by phone at 3-4435.
