According to the rrdtool tutorial, the manual page and the rpn tutorial
this will check: if test1 equals unknown, if so return test1, else 0.
So, the outcome will allways be unknown or zero.

This will return test1 if test1 does not equal zero, else it will return
zero.

See first eqpression.

Then you should check, and alter if necessary, both variables.
However, you shouldn't say that 123 + an unknown number == 123.
In this case it may be better to make the sum equal to 0 if it is
unknown -->  a,b,+,DUP,UN,EXC,0,EXC,IF
