Issues with MATLAB on OSX after Java Updates
Mac OSX 10.6.x - Feb 2013
The latest update to OSX 10.6 (Update 12) updates Java to a new version that has an issue known to cause problems with 'matlabpool' on the local configuration especially with R2011b and older. Please upgrade the OS to 10.7 or use a newer version of Matlab (R2012a or newer) which have workarounds for the same.
Status: Resolved
