MATLAB: Do I receive a Java Exception when copying and pasting into the Command WIndow in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) on a Linux machine running Fedora Core 3

MATLAB

When I copy and paste commands from the Command History into the Command Window, or from the Command Window into another application, I receive the following Java log and corresponding stack trace:
 An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
 Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x591F93
 Function=mpGetCWDName+0x37

Best Answer

This problem has been fixed in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2). If you are using a previous version, note that this and other similar symptoms which produce similar stack traces are related to a more general problem involving the handling of signals between MATLAB 7.0 and the Java Virtual Machine.
