MATLAB: Matlab crash after accidently assigning a counter variable from a loop as output argument of a function

MATLABmatlab crash

Hi,
i refer to this question. The question itself is not so interesting, but what happend to Madhan Ravi and the questioner is, i think:
The questioner wrote a code:
function m =feature(x,N)
...
some lines of code
...
for m=1:data
    fr(m)=mean2(r1{m});
    fg(m)=mean2(g1{m});
    fb(m)=mean2(b1{m});
end
...
some lines of code
...
end
–> He took the variable of the for loop as output argument of his function.
When Madhan tried to run this code in order answer this question his Matlab crashed hard – resulting in this question from Madhan which is not solved at the time – even by reinstall matlab(!).
In the comment to the first question the questioner also describes:

That problem occurred for me too and when I copied to another fresh script, it was OK but still the variables was not saved
My question: Is there a context between this? Can this beginner mistake cause such a serious crash of matlab?
Best regards
Stephan

Finally resolved the error :

because Matlab had inbuilt function files called feature which confused the path
