 boost::posix_time::from_iso_string() converts "20100713" into
 "20100713T201007.300000" which is obviously wrong.

 The error is caused by boost::date_time::split().

 The attached patch corrects split() so that an exception is thrown later
 in parse_delimited_time_duration().

 The problem is reproducible in Boost 1.42.0 and 1.44.0.

 This simple example demonstrates the issue:

 const boost::posix_time::ptime
 time=boost::posix_time::from_iso_string("20100713");
 std::cout << "Converted: " << boost::posix_time::to_iso_string(time) <<
 std::endl;

 Converted: 20100713T201007.300000

 Maybe someone can apply this patch.
