Why do I receive a segmentation violation when I attempt to load a workspace using MATLAB 7.0 (R14)?

When MATLAB is being run as a COM server and I attempt to load a workspace using File -> Load Workspace... in the newly created MATLAB command window, I receive a segmentation violation.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

This problem has been fixed in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1). If you are using a previous version, read the following:

We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) that affects the way the load dialog operates when MATLAB is run as a COM server. To work around this issue, you can load from the command prompt using the LOAD command or execute the command through the COM interface.
