Fun With Matlab

When you cause a run-time error in a Matlab program, it behaves very well, giving you a tracethrough of exactly which line it crashed on. Sometimes it isn't your program that was the last step in the failure--sometimes it feeds faulty data to an internal function, which crashes.

Through this, I have learned that Matlab has an internal command called "doDirtyAction". I do not know if it is done dirt cheap, however.
