Hi all!

I have a code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
  char *str;
  str=(char*)malloc(10);
  clrscr();
  str="01234";
  puts(str);
  printf("%s\n",str);
  strcat(str,"567");
  puts(str);
  printf("%s\n",str);
  return 1;
}

Why this code produces following results?
01234
01234
01234567
67

Other compilers give me:
01234
01234
01234567
01234567
