Since r1745 vm defined cvars that has both cvar_rom and cvar_archive does not
get restored from q3config.cfg (they are written corrently). The most noteble
example is g_spScores*.

The problem appears to be this channge:
-        if ( ( var->flags & CVAR_USER_CREATED ) && !( flags &
CVAR_USER_CREATED )
-            && var_value[0] ) {
+        if(var->flags & CVAR_USER_CREATED)
+        {

Changing the line into:
if( (flags & CVAR_ROM) && !(flags & CVAR_ARCHIVE) ) {
can be used as a workaround.

I am not sure what is the best solution as it might break the game restart
reset function.

Should values read from q3config even be marked as user created in the first
place?

I can confirm this bug with r1753 on FreeBSD amd64.

Very annoying.
