Because it's an infinite loop.
You set z outside the loop and do not change it inside the loop, so z is always between 0 and 5 and eventually v will get so large that Matlab crashes.
Try using v(3) instead of z.
Also, what is the point of this:
rand(1000);
It's telling Matlab to create a 1000x1000 matrix of data, but you're not assigning it to anything.
