double free or corruption (!prev) / Segmentation violation

I use virtual terminal (gnu's screen) to run my process in MATLAB in our server but I faces with a problem newly. Matlab gives error and interrupt the process while my connection to the server shuts down. Same error is happen in tmux, too.

*** Error in `/opt/MATLAB/R2009b/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00007f91455f7d60 ***

I could not solve it. I just moved to X2GO instead of gnu's screen.

In order to resolve this error you will need to remove your preferences directory:

Check in your home directory for a directory named .matlab and remove this and try re-launching MATLAB. This directory will get re-created at startup.

If this does not resolve the problem, setting the following variable may resolve your issue:

set MALLOC_CHECK=0

If still you are facing this issue please reach out to MathWorks Support:

Thank you for your answer. I still have the problem. It is interesting that the I am the only user of the server that facing with such a problem. I use another app to connect the server.
