JP,

Thanks for the reply.  I already have a patch to prevent the user from entering
duplicate sheet names on a schematic page.  However, it doesn't address the
case where schematics already have duplicate sheet names.  I'll commit the
changes that I have and take a look at what can be done for existing schematics.
