title: MATLAB "out of memory" error
body: <p>When I run a sample script in MATLAB, it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>When I type "memory", it reports:</p>

  <p>Is there any way to get around this error? I'm using Windows XP x32 with MATLAB 2009a.</p>
