Could it be because you do not zero out the allocated memory?

In the manual it athttps://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse38.html  it says 
"Calling the constructor will provoke a call to the virtual class method 
NewInstance, which, in its default implementation, calls GetMem, to allocate enough space 
to hold the class instance data, and then zeroes out the memory."

I'm trying this like below but it crashes. Is this correct? The fact 
NewInstance returns TObject instead of Pointer doesn't make sense to me and 
suggests this isn't correct.

   class function TDataObject.NewInstance: TObject;
   begin
     result := TObject(GetMem(InstanceSize));
   end;
