Why do I receive a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library error when I create a large matrix in MATLAB 6.5 (R13)?
When I use the following code to create a large matrix of zeros on my computer:
h = zeros(311,476800);
I receive the following Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library dialog box error:
 Abnormal program termination
When I run this same code on another computer I got the following error in MATLAB 6.5 (R13):
??? Error using ==> zeros
