MATLAB Release Notes - The MathWorks - #35

Compatibility Considerations. If you use a specific version of Sun Microsystems Java with MATLAB on the Solaris platform, this change might impact your work.

When MATLAB encounters a serious problem, such as a segmentation violation, a dialog box opens to notify you about the problem. From the dialog box, you can close MATLAB, or try to save your work in progress before closing.

If you try to save your work in progress, be aware that MATLAB is in an unreliable state and you should exit MATLAB as soon as you finish saving your work. The Command Window displays the message Please exit and restart MATLAB to the left of the prompt, which reminds you to discontinue use. For more information, see "Abnormal Termination".

Compatibility Considerations. In previous versions, when MATLAB encountered a serious problem, an error message appeared in the Command Window that instructed you to close MATLAB.

With multithreaded computation enabled, a platform-specific dialog box appeared, from which you immediately closed MATLAB.
