Joaquim,

I had the same problem some time ago, the message you had appeared in the
middle of a Matlab session.

The problem solved when I restarted Matlab ...

Now that you pointed out that accessing to different releases of proj.dll
might cause the problem, I will check it if the message appear again ...

Thanks,
Guillaume.
