parfor Internal Error: Unexpected initializer in bindings.

The code generating this error only does so on one specific machine but works flawlessly on any other computer I try to run it on. I cannot find any documentation on this specific error and "Internal Error: Unexpected initializer in bindings." is the entire output when I try to run the script. Additional details from catching the error show

MException with properties:

    identifier: 'MATLAB:cmn_unexpected_initializer_in_bindings'
       message: 'Internal Error: Unexpected initializer in bindings.'
         cause: {0x1 cell}
         stack: [1x1 struct]

The only difference between the computers is processor, all others are various i7's and this machine is a Xeon, and MATLAB 2015b on the others, 2015a on this one. I can't imagine those two differences would cause an error, but I'm at wits end.

Any hints, references to documentation on this error message, or anything would be really helpful.

It seems to be related to my use of a try-catch. My code is something like:

   errors = 0;
   %K,N,S, MAX, etc defined elsewhere
   parfor i=1:MAX
    p = zeros(K,N);
    a = zeros(K,N);
    rate = zeros(1,S); 
    while (true)
         try        
             [ p, a, rate ] = someFunction();
             break;
         catch ME
              errors = errors +1;
         end
    end
   end

Basically, someFunction() could throw an error, then try again. If I leave the catch empty, it works perfectly, and while I don't really need to record how many errors there were, it was useful initially and I did have other lines in there.

Even though it now works for what I need today, I'd still love to know why this error is occurring in case I ever need to do something in the catch.
