Usually it means that you have forgotten to fclose() your files.
There have been reports at various times of running in to this problem when using some of the utility routines along the lines of xlswrite(), routines that should be closing files but sometimes do not.
I do not recall hearing of this problem with regards to codetools, but I have not read much about that product.
