MATLAB: Am I unable to use a constructor which returns an array of objects using MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

MATLABmcosoop

I am using constructor in a class which returns an array of objects. I receive the following error when I create an object of this class:
 ??? Maximum recursion limit of 500 reached. Use set(0,'RecursionLimit',N)
 to change the limit.  Be aware that exceeding your available stack space can
 crash MATLAB and/or your computer.
 Error in ==> ArrayTest>ArrayTest.ArrayTest
I am following the syntax available at the following link:

The constructor calls itself recursively with no arguments when the second row of objects is created.
To work around the issue, see the following example:
classdef ArrayTest < handle
     properties
        Quantity
     end
     methods
        function t = ArrayTest(m,n)
           if nargin == 0
                return
           end
           for i = 1:m
               for j = 1:n
                   t(i,j).Quantity = rand(10);
               end
           end
        end
     end
end
There is no workaround to create a no argument constructor which returns an array of objects.
