Example (not accurate transcription):

>r_mode
r_mode is "3", default "3"

>r_mode 4
r_mode will be changed upon restart
r_mode is "3", default "3"
latched: 4 (OK)

>r_mode 5
r_mode will be changed upon restart
r_mode is "3", default "3"
latched: 5 (OK)

>r_mode 3
r_mode is "3", default "3"
latched: 5 (BAD)

vid_restart

>r_mode
r_mode is "5" (BAD), default "3"

This is harmful in that you might need two restarts to reset it. It can happen a lot with config files: you left the game with r_picmip 0, autoexec says 5, but you want 0 again --> you need two vid_restarts.

Setting a QA contact on all ioquake3 bugs, even resolved ones. Sorry if you get a flood of email from this, it should only happen once. Apologies for the incovenience.
