Thanks, Planetman and MatB--so you both suspect the m/c. It was replaced in 2001, at 108K miles--meaning that the replacement is as old as the original when it failed. I like your idea, because it's certainly cheaper, easier and quicker (probably actually in stock locally, unlike the booster).

BUT, inquiring minds want to know--if the m/c is the culprit, why was I able to drive the car home OK with the vacuum booster disconnected? Wouldn't the m/c show the same symptom with or without the booster connected?
