Matlab 2013b crash at start-up

If Matlab 2013b crashes at start-up with the "java.lang.NullPointerException" error, one possible solution is to temporarily change the Mac OS X version number.

For this, change the ProductVersion value from e.g., 10.10.1 to 10.90 in the file "/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist".

This change can be reverted once Matlab starts (recommended, since changing the OS version seems to interfere with Safari, etc.).
