Strange behavior of a java.util.Vector

I'm not sure if i'm going mad or stupid but as far as i can rely
on my eyes, when i ADD an element to a Vector, it gets put on
ALL the position, instead of the last one. It's like if it rolls all
the way down the list leaving its footprints along the way.

I wrote, like:
import java.util.*;

public class Temp {
 public static void main (String[] arg) {
  Vector vec = new Vector ();
  String[] outPutLine = new String[3];
  String line;
  for (int k = 0; k < 4; k++) {
   for (int i = 0; i < outPutLine.length; i++)
    outPutLine[i] = "S(" + i + ";" + k + ")";
   vec.add (outPutLine);

   System.out.println ("outPutLine " + k + " is: \t\t" + outPutLine[0] +
"\t" + outPutLine[1] + "\t" + outPutLine[2]);
   System.out.println ("The result is:");

   String test = "";
   for (int i = 0; i < vec.size (); i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
       test += ((String[])vec.get (i))[j];
      test += "\n";
     }
     System.out.println (test + "\n---------------------------------\n");
  }
 }
}

So, is it just me or is there funky with the output? Where did the
element S(0;0) go, for instance?!
