Car dying while stopped

I'm having a problem with my '99 Saab 9-5. Recently, when I come to a long stoplight, or am stuck in traffic and have to stay stopped for several minutes, the car simply dies. No chugging, or sputtering--it just dies. The first few times it started right back up again, but today I had to let it sit for 20-30 minutes, without a start attempt, and then it started right up. It runs in Park without dying--only seems to happen while in Drive, and then usually when I have been stopped for several minutes. Although, today, it died at a stop sign, and then wouldn't start again as described above. It was turning over, but just wouldn't ignite until after it sat awhile. (the ignition was replaced on this car last year due to a starting problem apparently common in this model year) Any ideas as to what this might be would be greatly appreciated.
