Program crash with strange output

I'm running a fairly complex problem which causes MATLAB to crash with no error message. When I recorded the output in the command window I only see:

<a href="matlab:helpPopup logical" style="font-weight:bold">logical</a>

I know that the problem does successfully run with slightly less complex settings, but I would really like to be able to run the more complex version too.

W/ no indications whatsoever what this "fairly complex" problem is or even what you mean by "crash", dunno what you think anybody here can do...

At a minimum would need a minimum working example that creates the problem...which ML release and OS would be at least interesting pieces of (perhaps only) trivia, but...

No need to be harsh. Just trying to see if anyone else has come across this issue.

By crash I mean MATLAB spontaneously closes like it wasn't ever running.

To keep things short, the problem is a type of gradient dencent optimization problem. There are several special environments and additional pieces of software needed to run this problem, so a working example really isn't an option.

Not harsh, just realistic -- as your follow-up shows, there are special circumstances going on that nobody else here has in all likelihood.

[Alex Denton]

Right. It was unclear to me if this error was problem specific or more general. Think I got my answer.

[Walter Roberson]

There are circumstances under which MATLAB can close if it runs out of memory. Normally it would just complain about being out of memory, but crashing matlab can happen.

I'd do what it says in the FAQ:

In my experience most crashes are either some kind of problem with the video adapter, or a problem with some external hardware such as a machine vision camera (currently this is my problem and the Mathworks told me to follow up with the camera manufacturer).
