[FieldTrip] ft_multiplotTFR.m crashing Linux machine

[David Groppe]

Thanks very much for the response Roemer.  By "crashing," I mean the
screen suddenly goes blank and the machine reverts to the login
screen.  I've tried your suggestion and so far it looks like it's
working!  I'll let you know if the problem returns.
     greatly appreciated,
          -David
