Why does the Signal Processing Toolbox 6.1 (R13SP1) cause

Why does the Signal Processing Toolbox 6.1 (R13SP1) cause MATLAB to crash when I use BUFFER with an input that is a cell array?

When I run the code:

x = {{4};{3}};
t = buffer(x,8);
clear x

I get variables created whose values are my crash dump.Also, if I run the following code,

x = {7};
t = buffer(x,8);
clear x
clear t

I get the following error message:

This has been verified as a bug in the Signal Processing Toolbox 6.1 (R13SP1) in the way that BUFFER handles cell arrays.

As a workaround, use CELL2MAT to convert your n-by-1 cell array into a n-by-1 column vector.

a = {1;2;3;4;5;6;7};
b = cell2mat(a);
c = buffer(b,2)
