I have been using for a while a later version (01/10/84) of Matlab
than the one recently posted.  This version is supposedly
substantially faster.  Since I ported it to the Amiga, I've never had
any problems with it, and I've been using it a lot.  I've thought
about sending it to comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga but hesitate since
it's pretty big and am not sure on the demand for it.  If I get enough
email I will end up sending it.  If interested, also indicate if you
would prefer a version compiled for 68020/68881.
