Yet a bit more paranoid: checking the size of arrays!

  workaround_possible: Boolean;

  procedure Check_workaround is
    test_a: constant Byte_Buffer(1..10):= (others => 0);
    test_b: constant Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Array(1..10):= (others
=> 0);
  begin
    workaround_possible:= test_a'Size = test_b'Size;
  end Check_workaround;

It's the code I've put into Zip-Ada - big success!
:-)
