Force software OpenGL in compiled Matlab

I have a user who intermittently experiences a crash or weird graphics issues (e.g. mirror text) when running a compiled Matlab program. I've determined that the runtime is using HW OpenGL when running the compiled program. However, when running Matlab directly, SW OpenGL is selected (and no crashes). I've also seen a couple of posts suggesting that the problem he's seeing could be solved by using SW OpenGL.

Is there some way to force a compiled Matlab program to run using SW OpenGL? This is on a Linux system, so I can't use opengl('software') in the program. I don't see any compiler switches either. Any pointers appreciated!
