Jacobian from lsqnonlin with multistart

Dear all,
For my research, I'm running multiple lsqnonlin-fits using Matlab's MultiStart function. My objective function does not supply a jacobian.
If I run a single lsqnonlin-fit (from one start point; no MultiStart), I'm able to retrieve the (approximated) jacobian using: [x,resnorm,residual,exitflag,output,lambda,jacobian] = lsqnonlin(...) I need the jacobian to calculate a confidence interval for my estimated parameters. The run command (to run MultiStart), however, does not return a jacobian.
Is there a way to get the jacobian of the best fit of a MultiStart-run (again using lsqnonlin as the local solver)?
Thanks in advance!
Bart

Is there anybody who has some thoughts on solving this problem? Thanks!

yes I'd also like to know how this can be accomplished
I'm doing it in this way:
you can extract the best X0 from multistart and then use it to run the lsqnonlin again.
For instance:
[params,fval,eflag,output,manymins] = run(ms,problem,20); % manymins have all the X0 used by multistart, you can take the better
[params,resnorm,residual,exitflag,fit_out,lambda,jacobian] = lsqnonlin(fun,manymins(1).X0{1},lb,ub,options);
cheers
