A problem in running a MEX file in a consistent way

I have written a MEX file. This file compiles successfully with no problem. For some reasons, which I am really baffled, this MEX file does not work properly any more. Nothing has changed. I am using the same MEX code and the same arguments for executing the MEX file. But it fails. I uninstalled and reinstalled MATLAB but it did not help.
I tracked the problem and it seems when it reaches mexCallMATLAB, it causes a crash.
mxArray *x_locations = ( cellCentered ) ? mxCreateDoubleMatrix( 1, NZ-1, mxREAL ) : mxCreateDoubleMatrix( 1, NZ, mxREAL );
mxArray *y_locations = ( cellCentered ) ? mxCreateDoubleMatrix( 1, NY-1, mxREAL ) : mxCreateDoubleMatrix( 1, NY, mxREAL );
mxArray *z_locations = ( cellCentered ) ? mxCreateDoubleMatrix( 1, NX-1, mxREAL ) : mxCreateDoubleMatrix( 1, NX, mxREAL );
// A loop for filling the values for x_locations, y_locations, z_locations
// ...
// End of the loop
// Create a meshgrid based on the values stored in x_locations, y_locations, z_locations
mxArray *IN[3];
mxArray *OUT[3];
IN[0] = x_locations;
IN[1] = y_locations;
IN[2] = z_locations;
mexPrintf("Line Before mexCallMATLAB\n");
mexCallMATLAB(3, OUT, 3, IN, "meshgrid");
mexPrintf("Line After mexCallMATLAB\n");
When I run the MEX file, only Line Before mexCallMATLAB is printed and the code does not reach to print Line After mexCallMATLAB. Here is the log.

What code is in the loop? Are you sure you are not writing beyond the end of the data memory? What is the code after mexCallMATLAB?

The loop is fine. The code works until it wants to execute mexCallMATLAB(3, OUT, 3, IN, "meshgrid"); and then fails and does not print Line After mexCallMATLAB.

I see nothing obviously wrong with what you have posted, so I am asking to see what you have not posted. What you have posted runs fine on my machine 1000's of times. That is why I suspect it is something you are not telling us or have not posted. So, again, what is the loop actually doing, and what is after the mexCallMATLAB call?
