Thanks! I've never used Matlab, but used Octave for a small project
years ago, so I tried to run your code under Octave. It appears
to run, but fails after several minutes with the warning: 

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-droid-sans-fonts.conf", line 103: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected

I suspect it's the plot(ff) statement that is causing the problem. No
plot is produced.

Rather than try to track down the plot() incompatibility, I'm going
to try to translate your code to R. There may be some sticky spots,
and I hope you don't mind my asking about them.
