	Any blown car will still create loads of useful vacuum at idle.
Almost all 
cars have check valves in the vacuum booster unit.  That's why when you
switch the engine off, you still have at least a couple of applications
of the brakes with some (if not full) assistance.  I think whoever was
describing this problem, probably has a faulty vacuum booster unit.
