I just installed matlab version 6.1.0.450 (R12.1) and have a similar
problem to Shiro.  I don't get any warning about /dev/ptmx, but I DO
get the following in /var/log/messages, and I am also unable to quit
(like Shiro).  Other than these symptoms, matlab seems to work fine.

Aug  8 16:30:23 heron /kernel: linux: 'ioctl' fd=4, cmd=1 ('',1) not implemented
Aug  8 16:30:23 heron /kernel: linux: 'ioctl' fd=4, cmd=1 ('',1) not implemented
Aug  8 16:30:23 heron /kernel: linux: 'ioctl' fd=4, cmd=540e ('T',14) not implemented

I am running FreeBSD 4.3-Release.

First... is anyone else able to successfully quit matlab?
