Or, even better in my opinion: All the trouble has been caused my the
desire to keep a shell script and a data table in the same file. Separate
them. Move the test data into a file of its own, say
tests/test-parse-duration-data.txt. Then you don't need a temporary dir,
you don't need a 'trap' command, just a

   while read line<  ${srcdir}/test-parse-duration-data.txt

Except for the file being re-opened on each iteration,
that is a good idea.  In general, though, when I use a here doc,
I use the strip-the-tabs form because it looks _much_ cleaner.
In this case, this:

   while read line ; do
      ...
   done < ${srcdir}/test-parse-duration-data.txt

combined with the trap handling removal is a lot better.
