Honestly, I’m not sure. Without tracebacks it’s getting very difficult to debug these matlab runtime errors. It seems like Big Sur is the common culprit here, but we really don’t know why. Hopefully we can release the python port soon...
Cico, could you try running freesurfer through a docker container instead?

Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Hippocampal, thalamus and brainstem subfields: Matlab crash bump on macOS Big Sur
Thanks a bit lot, Cico. The screensaver thing blew my mind.
We need to move these tools into python to avoid this type of problems.
In the meantime: Andrew, do you have any ideas?
External Email - Use Caution
Hello FreeSurfer Developers,
I'm attempting to compute hippocampal, thalamus and brainstem subfields on my laptop (MacBook Pro, MacOS Big Sur, Freesurfer 7.1.1 or 7.2.0) with segmentHA_T1.sh, segmentThalamicNuclei.sh and segmentBS.sh scripts, respectively. All the
three pipelines fail because of a Matlab Crash Dump. You can find the error logged in the bash console text reported in the last part of this email. I also attached the file brainstem-substructures-T1.log
Please, note that everything works fine with previous versions of MacOS, including Mojave. All the updates of Big Sur didn’t solve the problem.
Is it possible to use these tools with an updated Matlab Runtime?
Another note, probably helpful to somebody else: sometimes these tools fail also in previous version of MacOS, but I discovered that it happens for a different Matlab Crash Dump due to some screen savers. Avoiding the use of screen savers
solved the problem under Mojave (but not under Big Sur).
