------- Additional Comments From a.hurst@shef.ac.uk 2007-08-02 16:33 ------- Ah, regarding the post just above, the license expiry error would be because my license is expiring!
Still I think we've narrowed this bug down to msvcrt (on which Windows JVM is built?!)
One can use the Sun JRE instead of the JVM included with Matlab as a workaround - as discussed in Matlab's appDB entry.
