The meaning of 0 is being escaped, it now represents Octal and the following
digits are taken to be an octal number. Ascii equivalent of the octal no. is
being taken as a character.
Ascii equivalent of octal no. 61 is 1. So it takes it to be 4 characters..
S,1,A,B

Another example would be..

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
main()
{
char str[]="S\051AB";

printf("%s\n",str);
}

Output:
S)AB

because Ascii value of ) is 51(in octal format).
