Why do the MIN and MAX functions return incorrect results when called from the FEVAL function in MATLAB 7.0 (R14)?

If the MIN or MAX functions are called from the FEVAL function in MATLAB 7.0 (R14), such as:

[a, b] = feval(@min,c);

The values in 'a' will occasionally be a duplicate of those in 'c', instead of the minimum values in 'c'. This problem does not arise in MATLAB 6.5 (R13).

We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) in the way that the Just-In-Time (or JIT) accelerator evaluates the functions passed to the FEVAL function.

Currently, to work around this issue, disable the JIT accelerator temporarily by using the following code:

feature('accel','off')

[a, b] = feval(@min,c);

feature('accel','on')
