MATLAB: Do I get an error when using the DEPFUN function in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2)

MATLAB

When I use the DEPFUN function in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2), I get an error when the function should return an empty cell. For example, if I type the following command:
list = depfun('lasterr', '-toponly');
I receive the following error:
 Error Messages: ??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
 Error in ==> depfun>fix_output_data at 597
             trace_list = [trace_list(1:narg_files); tmp]; % new, sorted list
 Error in ==> depfun at 326
     fix_output_data;  % clean up the output data
