Why does MATLAB crash when I try to import binary files using the Import Wizard?
I have a binary data file that is of unspecified format that I am trying to read into MATLAB using the Import Wizard. The Import Wizard allows me to select my file but when I click 'Open', I receive an Assertion Failure/Crash Dump.
Assertion failed: (hdr->in_use != 0), at line 870 of file "./mwmem.c".
Attempt to free previously freed memory

This problem has been brought to the attention of our development staff so that it may be fixed in a future release of MATLAB.
Please use the low-level file I/O function FREAD to read in binary data files whose format MATLAB does not explicitly support through its high-level functions.
