Resetting Section Numberings

It is sometimes desirable to reset counters, like the chapter counter to cause parts to have independent chapter numbering.

\part{blarg}
\setcounter{chapter}{0}

NOTE: the above scenario causes mangled PDF bookmarks (see PDF Hyper References). There is no known solution except to avoid resetting the counter.
