概要：
matlab会因为某些设置不能启动，corrupt。
删除配置文件可以解决。
主要的配置文件在user profile中的MATLAB.prf文件中。
也有一部分在-nodesktop参数启动时创建在windows安装目录的matlab.ini中。
后者比较难被发现（我用filemon.exe找到）。

I fixed the problem exactly as discribed above.
Setting of “Echo on” does cause the problem.
The setting stored in “C:\windows\matlab.ini” but not matlab.prf in
user profile. (I run Matlab 7.01 R14 on Windows XP SP2 En)
Modifiy “Echo on” setting in the matlab.ini to 0, then done.

It seems matlab.ini was generated when running “matlab.exe -nodesktop”
mode.
So reinstall the software helps nothing.

I think this is a bug of this version matlab.

The log file should contain some instructions at the bottom: if you can
consistently reproduce this segmentation violation please send it to our
technical support staff. If you can’t consistently reproduce it, send it to
the segv address at mathworks.com.

Based on a quick glance at the log file,
[解决办法. Solution]
try going into your preferences
directory (it should probably be in your Windows profile, under Application
Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R14) and rename the MATLAB.prf file to oldMATLAB.prf.

If that resolves the issue, please send the older file to support so they
can determine what was wrong with that file.

I tried to find the matlab.prf file, but it was not there. Therewas 1
directory from my older version of Matlab (R13). I copied this one
and renamed as R14, but the results of the logfile are the same all
the time.
What’s more: the logfile how I copied in the 1st message is exactly
the one I get, so there are no instructions at all. The last line is
something with kernel32. I have no idea how to interpret this and use
it for faultfinding.
