  Was the data written by a String'Output compiled by the same compiler
for the same kind of machine?  'Input expects to get first the bounds,
then the content, of the string.  The format of the bounds part is not
specified by the language, ie, it's compiler dependent.  Perhaps the
incoming data didn't contain any bounds and String'Input was interpreting
the first few characters as bounds, with disastrous result?
  If these are strings, are they from RFC 822 style data where string
termination is by CRLF?  In that case you need to do reads into a
buffer and concatenate/cut at CRLFs to make separate strings.  You
could make Channel of a child of Root_Stream_Type and write your
function RFC822_Input and "for String'Input use RFC822_Input;"

  Going to the low level suggests you know, independently, at least
the length of the string.  If the bounds are First and Last, you could:
declare
  Message : String(First .. Last);
begin
  String'Read(Channel, Message);
