If you have steps with which you can fairly consistently crash or hang 
MATLAB, please send them in to Technical Support so we can investigate why 
MATLAB is crashing or hanging and fix it.

Besides, if you're modified a function in the Editor and then run it without 
saving, you're actually executing the older version of the function (without 
your unsaved changes) so you should save before running your code.
