error LU function (the devil is in the details)

%% test_lu
clear all %#ok<*CLSCR>
clc
mem = memory %#ok<*NASGU,*NOPTS>

tic, [l,u,p] = lu(9), toc %#ok<*ASGLU>
% now do this...
tic, [l,u,p] = lu(mp(9)), toc
... and look at differences ...
mem = memory
% ... wait for while ( for me about 10..40 sec, randomly !)

% ...
% and then I get out of memory error window

... here is my output ...

P.S.
I reduced the virtual machine's memory to 1G and get much faster now out of memory

P.S. #2
L = lu(mp(9)) % Matlab crash

I used mail address :)

Thanks !
Discount is sent to your mail. Thank you, John Doe :)!
Fixed version has been released. Please update your installation.
[...] = lu(A,'vector') still not work; please take a look at my workaround (with 'vector' the third output MUST be VECTOR)
Certainly, my code is valid only for full matrices.

I have just added that option to LU function (it wasn't implemented before). Please use newest toolbox.
