Why does MATLAB 6.0 crash under Redhat 7.0?
Greg Wolodkin writes in msgid:<94msc5$61m$1@news.mathworks.com>: This is a well-known bug in the version of glibc (2.1.92) that Redhat chose to ship with Redhat 7.0. Any program which uses LinuxThreads is pretty much guaranteed not to work. The topic has come up in this newsgroup, though not recently. We mention the Redhat 7 problems in the release notes. There is also a tech support SWAT (http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-182DV.html?solution=1-182DV) available at http://www.mathworks.com/support; search for redhat 7 and it will be the only hit. The fix is to upgrade to glibc 2.1.94 or better. I’d recommend glibc 2.2 at this point. A short-term work-around is to start using matlab -nojvm which makes MATLAB a single-threaded program.
