A program containing Psychtoolbox functions crashes after running for 30 minutes when receiving trigger inputs (approx. 3 triggers per second), but runs the full 90 minutes when no trigger is connected. None of the arrays in the program appear to be larger than the allocated memory. It is unclear why the program consistently crashes after 30 minutes.
This is run on a Lenovo Thinkpad, using Psychtoolbox-3 and Matlab 2018b. We cannot decipher the source from the matlab crash report (similar crash reports have been posted, but none of the postings are applicable to our error). The Matlab support team claimed it was not a matlab error, and that the error points to something going wrong w Psychtoolbox. The entire crash report is posted below.
---EDIT-- SECTIONS OF CODE RELATED TO RECEIVING TRIGGERS note - triggers are received as a '=' press, and the buttons the subject presses during our task are received as '1' and '2's
KB_task=i(find(strcmp(j,'Keyboard'))); %selecting the keyboard named keyboard
KbQueueCreate(KB_task); %setting up queues to track keypresses
KBQueueStart(KB_task);
%check for press (we check approx. every .0167 s)
[pressed,firstpress]=KbQueueCheck(KB_task);
%saving out the time and identity of the button press
if pressed
k=find(firstpress);
for j=1:length(k)
keyval(indx)=k(j);
trtimes(indx)=firstpress(k(j));
indx=indx+1;
end
end

We expect the program to run for the full 90 minutes. It can run smoothly for shorter periods of time... Thanks for your help!
