Thanks for the info, Dianne. For those experiencing the same problem, here's a thread in Matlab Central regarding this issue: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/309912.

Subject: Re: [SPM] SPM/MATLAB Crashing

Just to add another data point:

I just upgraded to Mac OSX snow leopard 10.6.8 (including the Java update).

 java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03-384-10M3425)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02-384, mixed mode)

I'm using Matlab 7.12.0 (R2011a).

SPM and other gui tools seem to be working fine. No crashing.

When you run spm, it runs the figure command.  If MATLAB crashes when
you call figure, I don't think there's much we can suggest in order to
get your system running SPM.

If you get any error messages, these could be helpful in order to
diagnose the problem.  They often contain useful keywords for
searching the Mathworks web site for solutions.

Best regards,
