Audi near-stalls when I take it out of gear



Hello Qlisters, and happy tax day to you, I hope you don't owe!

When I take my 1990 Coupe Q out of gear, the engine falls past 800rpm and
near-stalls before coming back up to idle.  Twice it has stalled when I let
the engine go from about 3000 rpm down to 800rpm.  Now out of habit, I rev
the engine just before it hits 800rpm to prevent any stalls.  
Is this an advanced BOSCH job?  Is it tied to my warm start problem, which my
car has a harder time starting when the engine is still hot?  Am I the victim
of a goverment cover-up involving aliens and german cars?

THanks for all the help!
