	Yes, this is most certainly a bug in gschem.  This bug has
already been entered into the jitterbug database as Bug#54.

>How can I make gschem to restart numbering from 1 each type of componets?

	A really temp workaround is to exit gschem and then renumber the
next set.  Another possible workaround is to use annotate.sh, which is
distributed (but not installed) with gnetlist:  gnetlist/scripts/annotate.sh
This script will number things correctly, but only for a single schematic.
Somewhere I have a fixed up version which does multiple schematics, but 
it needs work.
