Strange matlab-mode problem

I am one of the happy matlab-mode users.  However, I have a number of
problems but the first one is the only serious one.

I am using: matlab-mode, version 3.3.1

Problem 1.

When I edit a m file in matlab-mode then some times it seems that
emacs gets stuck and then after a long time or when I press ctrl-g it
outputs in the shell frame some thing like

>> which aero_guid_plot
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/toolbox/simulink/simdemos/aerospace/aero_guid_plot.m
>>
>> which axistext
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/toolbox/matlab/graph2d/@axistext/axistext.m  % axistext constructor
>>
>> which aero_atcscript
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/toolbox/simulink/simdemos/aerospace/aero_atcscript.m
>>
>> which addrunf
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/toolbox/robust/rctobsolete/mutools/subs/addrunf.m
>>
>> which asec
built-in (/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/toolbox/matlab/elfun/@double/asec)  % double method
>>

In the above case I think the cursor was at or in front of an 'a' and
then it seems matlab is used to search for functions starting with 'a'
which takes a long time and is very annoying.

How can I stop this?

Problem 2.

I can not make the function 'matlab-shell-last-error' work properly.
I tried to change it a bit to the below which also does not work to well.
(defun tk-goto-matlab-error ()
  "Goto last matlab error above"
  (interactive)
  (search-backward "error")
  (matlab-shell-html-go))

Problem/question 3

When I checked *Message* to see the matlab-mode version it also had
'Sorry, your emacs cannot use the MATLAB Shell GUD features.'
What does that mean?
