Matlab stops responding when loading res.mat from file server

[lucasschn]

The path to the paramsweep results mat-files is defined by a path2res variable in paths.mat.

VPN is connected, if not, an error "unable to read file" is thrown instead of not responding.

The results mat-file is then loaded using load(fullfile(path2res,'res25uniform4.mat')). There matlab stops responding.

Matlab also stops responding if trying to load smaller files from the same folder.

Even when trying to parse the file without loading into memory, matlab stops responding:
whos -file \\sti1files.epfl.ch\unfold\unfold-commun\temp_lucas\res25uniform4.mat
leads to matlab being busy forever

Even trying:
whos -file ../data/paramsweep/res25uniform4.mat
leads to hanging
