It can happen after a booster rebuild, if the little plastic valves are 
incorrectly seated, or sticking.

I had this prob after I rebuilt mine, and burned out the clutch just getting 
it to the side of the road, as the brakes were stuck full on. If this were to 
happen, then releasing the vacuum hose from the manifold to the booster 
releases them. Then you'll need to dismantle all over again.

Hopefully, this is most unlikely, if re-built properly.
