Lock the mex file to avoid Matlab crashes.
Commands like "clear all" and "clear function" causes segmentation faults or errors like these (especially after an 'init'):
libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/descriptor_database.cc:57] File already exists in database: caffe/proto/caffe.proto
libprotobuf FATAL google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:862] CHECK failed: generated_database_->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size):
[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/message.cc:333] Type appears to be in generated pool but wasn't registered: caffe.LayerParameter
Attempt to restart MATLAB?
To avoid these, lock the the mex file.
