I am trying to return an array of string from a function and then free the memory it used. The code is below:

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    for (int m = 0; m < 10000; m++) {
        char **data = dataTest();

        int i = 0;
        while(data[i]) {
            printf("%p ",data[i]);
            free(data[i]);
            i++;
        }
        printf(" address= %p.\n",data);
        free(data);
    }

    return 0;
}

Here is the function:

char **dataTest()
{
    char *row[] = {"this", "is", "a", "data", "string", NULL};
    char **str = row;
    char **dataReturn = (char **) malloc(sizeof(char *) * 6);

    int i = 0;
    while (*str) {
        dataReturn[i] = malloc(sizeof(char) * strlen(*str));
        strcpy(dataReturn[i++], *str);
        str++;
    }

    return dataReturn;
}

It runs well in the beginning, but soon the error occurs. Below is the result. The address goes wrong somehow and the malloc error happens. Anyone has met the same problem before?
