I drove a 99 a long time with a similar condition, but it the 'Classic' saab cracked head syndrome rather than gasket - gasket would fail sooner.. What I experienced was a slight over pressure of the cooling system, airlocks causing overheating (first thing) and missing for a few seconds on startup.
The 'bandaid' was a 7psi rad cap, and drilling the stat to avoid airlocks, ran fine like this, and continued for 3 years and 25K until I finally bothered to fix it...
