I found the following in the german TeX-FAQ at
http://www.dante.de/faq/de-tex-faq/html/makros4.html#91:
8.5.5 Wie kann ich erreichen, daß ein Zähler bei Erhöhung eines anderen
Zählers zurückgesetzt bzw. nicht zurückgesetzt wird?
Mit der Deklaration \@addtoreset{equation}{section} kann man erreichen, daß der
Gleichungszähler immer dann
auf Null zurückgesetzt wird, wenn der Abschnittszähler erhöht wird. Diese Deklaration
wird implizit aufgerufen, wenn man in
der Deklaration des Gleichungszählers das optionale Argument verwendet, also
\newcounter{equation}[section].
Soll das Gegenteil erreicht werden, so wird das Paket ,remreset' benötigt, das die
Deklaration \@removefromreset
implementiert, mit der man durch \@removefromreset{equation}{section} obiges
nachträglich wieder rückgängig
machen kann.
remreset:
CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/carlisle/remreset.sty
The same in english (with the help of babelfish):
8.5.5 How can I achieve that a counter is reset with the
increase of another counter or is not reset?
With the declaration \@addtoreset{equation}{section} one can
achieve that the equation counter is reset to zero whenever the
paragraph counter is increased. This declaration is implicitly
called, if one uses the optional argument in the declaration of
the equation counter, thus \newcounter{equation}[section]. If the
opposite is to be achieved, then the package 'remreset' is
needed, which implements the declaration \@removefromreset,
with which one can cancel the above subsequently using
\@removefromreset{equation}{section}.
So all you have to do is to install the attached package and to insert the
following in the Latex preamble:
\usepackage{remreset}
\@removefromreset{equation}{chapter}

% LaTeX includes a command \@addtoreset that is used to declare that
% a counter should be reset every time a second counter is incremented.
% For example the book class has a line
% \@addtoreset{footnote}{chapter}
% So that the footnote counter is reset each chapter.
% If you wish to bas a new class on book, but without this counter
% being reset, then standard LaTeX gives no simple mechanism to do
% this.
% This package defines |\@removefromreset| which just undoes the effect
% of \@addtorest. So for example a class file may be defined by
% \LoadClass{book}
% \@removefromreset{footnote}{chapter}
