  S : String(1 .. 5);
is an array of 5 Characters, ie, a 5 character long string, regardless
of the contents of S.  An ascii.nul has no special meaning to Ada.
  You may want to look at package Ada.Strings.Bounded (for variable length
with a fixed maximum, like C) or at Ada.Strings.Unbounded (for variable
length with additional space allocated as needed).
