Default Cruise Control Issue - Need some help

If Cruise Control is engaged and I press the brake pedal it should disengage..

The problem my 98 Camaro is having is......
When the Cruise Control is engaged, If i press the brake just a little it will cause the cruise control to try to accelerate instead of disengaging cruise control. I have to press the brake pretty hard and quick to get it to disengage, but it still tries to speed up for a brief second.

I really use my cruise control a lot as there are a lot of speed traps where I live.. Speeding up is not helping me especially when I am expecting the cruise to disengage!

Any ideas?

Sounds like a brake dump switch issue. Im not sure on the 98+'s but I believe they are vacuum operated as well.
