Can't shut down COM automation server instances of MATLAB

Hi,
I'm starting some automation server instances of ML:
for ix = 1:4
servH(ix) = actxserver('Matlab.Application.Single');
servH(ix).Visible = 0;
% More code...
end
I do some stuff in each session, controlling each session with some PutWorkspaceData(), GetWorkspaceData(), and Execute() methods, and when I'm done, I tried to kill these instances in a couple of different ways, e.g.:
arrayfun(@(x)x.Quit,servH);
or
for ix = 1:4
servH(ix).Quit;
end
The above seem to work when I attempt them from the command window (launching and killing from command window), but I can't seem to kill them from within my real program. The only thing that I could reliably use was (yes, it's ugly):
try
servH(ix).Execute('exit');
catch me
% Killed server, and we get Error: RPC-server is unavailable
end
Am I missing something obvious here?
64-bit R2011b on Win7 by the way...

Does servH(ix).Quit pass for ix=1 and fail thereafter? If yes, I wonder if you're calling the Quit method in a loop too quickly. You could try putting in a PAUSE command and see if that helps.

David: I don't have enough expertise in this area to make further suggestions. Could you please contact MathWorks Tech Support to see if they might be able to guide you better? Thanks!
