How to add: min, max, mean, median, st dev values to histogram legend

I would like to add information about min, max, mean, median, and st dev to the histogram. I tried to do this using the following script:
% Import data
A = importdata('C:\my_data.tif');
% Generate histogram
histogram(A,'BinLimits',[0,1000]);
% Calculate the min, max, mean, median, and standard deviation
min=min(A);
max=max(A);
mn=mean(A);
md=median(A);
stdv=std(A);
% Create the labels
minlabel=sprintf('Min -- %3.2d', min);
maxlabel=sprintf('Max -- %3.2d', max);
mnlabel=sprintf('Mean -- %3.2d', mn);
mdlabel=sprintf('Median -- %3.2d', md);
stdlabel=sprintf('Std Deviation -- %3.2d', stdv);
% Create the textbox
h=annotation('textbox',[0.58 0.75 0.1 0.1]);
set(h,'String',{minlabel, maxlabel,mnlabel, mdlabel, stdlabel});
However, every time when I run the script the last line of the script crushed in Matlab (see attached message). Does anyone know how to solve the error? Or is there another way to add min, max info to the histogram? Thanks in advance for the answer.

I'd contact tech support if the crash is reproducible.
A minimal working example works for me:
histogram(rand(100,1))
annotation('textbox','String',{'hello', 'world'})

Contact tech support! It could quite possible by a simple graphics driver update or something specific to your machine that they can help with!
