Problem is, that in the case of for example manual mode, you don't need 
to reset do_validate to its defaults in the case of monits configuration 
change, because it will break the running services. Similar problem 
could be, id you want to stop process for some reason (stop monitoring 
as well). Bacuse monit will replace current Run environment with new one 
in the case of configuration reload, all these informations are lost. 
This is default behavior of present and all previous versions of monit 
(not regarded to new code).
