intermittent stall-out problem

First let me say thanks for all the good advice everyone has given me on helping me with my timing related problem in another thread. The car runs lika a monster now.

That being said there is one weird thing happening now. Here goes:

It seems like when I come down a hill preparing to stop like at the end of a driveway, and I take it out of gear and come to a stop; it dies right there. It fires right back up with no hiccups, but this is a problem. To make sure it wasn't just a random thing, I tested my theory. I went down my dads driveway 3 times, and each time it stalled. I creep down the driveway in 1st gear, get almost to the bottom, take it out of gear, apply the brakes, and the car comes to a stop and stalls out. Then I cuss at it and it starts right back up and I'm on my way. Whats this all about?
