The $...REGEX expansions must be put in double-quotes to protect them
from field splitting. But then the tests do not pass anymore (I tested
only t4202). Please revisit this change.
I will later figure out why you are seeing the fields splitting but I am not.
In the mean time I will change the quoting.
In this line
TODAY_REGEX='[A-Z][a-z][a-z] [012][0-9]:[0-6][0-9] .0200'
no field splitting occurs. The quoting is fine here. But notice that the
value of $TODAY_REGEX contains blanks.
In this line
check_human_date "$(($(date +%s)-18000)) +0200" $TODAY_REGEX
the value of $TODAY_REGEX is substituted and then the value is split
into fields at the blanks because the expansion is not quoted.
As a consequence, function check_human_date considers only the first
part of $TODAY_REGEX, i.e. 'A-Z][a-z][a-z]' (which is parameter $2), but
ignores everything else (because it does not use $3 or $4).
