Well there you are. Glad to be of assistance and I believe that the Brake
Booster was a suggestion of mine following several similar instances of this
problem in the past.

06/27/2007 - As I promised, even though it's been so long, I did
change the vacuum booster and that did fix my problem...  Thank you
all.

5/25/2007 - Thanks for the many responses.  I will try the suggestions
on Monday (Momorial Day)

To clarify - The symtom is like it has the hand brake connected to all
four wheels, and is applied to the maximum.  All four wheels get very
hot if I try to push ahead before a complete stop.  Whenever it is
totally locked, and I try to move, it just burns the clutch and the
car just squats.

I will post the results of the suggestions I have already received.

I am experiencing a problem where the brakes lock up after about four
to five miles of travel.  I was told that the problem could be
resolved by replacing the master cylinder.  I did, but the problem
continues.  The only way to get going, is to release the pressure via
the bleeding valves.  This works sometimes for an eighth of a mile or
sometimes up to ten miles.  I removed all the relays from the ABS unit
with no luck.

Is there someone who has experience this problem?  How was it resolved?
