How to find rows with maximum number

I have a matrix with n rows and 1 column. I would like to find rows which has the maximum number of rows. Then, replace zero in the other rows.
For instance: I have matrix A and I would like to produce matrix B.
A=
5
2
2
4
3
2
B=
0
2
2
0
0

This works:
A = [5
2
2
4
3
2];
[Au,ia,ic] = unique(A, 'stable');
h = accumarray(ic, 1);
B = A;
B(ic~=Au(h==max(h))) = 0
B =
0
2
2
0
0

Thanks a lot for the help Star Strider.
It is really appreciated.
As always, my pleasure.
Many thanks for your help Star Strider.
Why your code gives me error for the following matrix:
A =
5
0
0
4
3
0
your code gives me this:
B =
0
0
0
0
0
0
Thank you.
It does that because zeros are the most frequent, and it sets the other elements to zero, producing a zero vector here. The impression I got from your original Question is that you wanted that result.
What result do you want from this vector?
Sorry, it was my mistake. I have to correct it myself. I am thankful for your help.
