Sure?
You have a `unsigned char B', that usually is a 8 bit value and
invoke strlen on it? Do you mean a `const unsigned char*'
pointing to binary data?
Still, it would convert excluding first 0x00 byte. But I think it
is worse than that.

here, the stack already is overflowed. strlen(i) is something undefined
because no EOS zero anywhere in B.
(beside the fact that B contains wrong data, I think
0x30, 0x31, 0x30, 0x32, 0x30, 0x33, .... was intended)
