Matlab hung when performing matrices multiplication

Hi,

Recently I tried to multiply two random matrices (actually I am still trying, because Matlab have not finished yet):

a = rand(8);
b = rand(8)
c = a * b;

After that Matlab hungs, and only possible solution is to terminate running instance. I tried to clean my local Matlab folder, running same commands on other versions (R2013b, R2014a on the same machine) and reinstalling R2013a, but no whithout any luck.

I also tried to run these commands on my other machine with the same system and Matlab R2013a, and everything works fine.

Currently I am running Linux 3.10.32-1-lts.
