Postplot calling an external matlab function --> no plot

I'm having an issue in version 3.5a using postplot function: in matlab, when postplot tries to surface plot a function that is defined as an external matlab function, a figure window opens but no plot appears. There, I notice that matlab uses 100% CPU resource. What could be the problem?
Here is a specific scenario that I tested:
- In a 2D electrostatics setup, make some region (subdomain) between two constant-potential boundaries have a spatially-varying permittivity defined as an external matlab function.
- Solve for the potential V (done in 'comsol matlab' environment).
- Save the project as a .m file
- In matlab, load the .m file
- Try making these plots:
1. Plot the solved potential V via
h=postplot(fem,'tridata','V');
A correct plot of potential distribution appears.
2. Plot the permittivity via
h=postplot(fem,'tridata','epsilonr_emes');
Matlab goes to work (100% CPU usage), but no plot appears (indefinite wait).
This behavior was observed in both linux and windows versions.
What could be the problem?
Thank you in advance,
