Details:

Run time crashing for a program running on 
GUI version 4.4.1 on MS Windows  
 but does not crash on the CLI for version 4.4.1

and not at all (neither GUI or CLI) on version 4.2.1

after much experimenting I determined it was related to clearing of variables.
 The following minimum code will cause it to happen on my HP laptop running
Windows 10 


for i=1:1000
  b = rand(100);
  clear b
  
end 


(I currently do not have access to other computers for comparison)
