Default 95 Accord with the cruise control intermittently shutting off.

I have a 95 Accord 2 door with automatic transmission 157,000 miles
appr. At infrequent intervals, after I set the cruise, it will engage
and then will drop out as if the brake was pushed or thr cruise was
shut off. The cruise on off switch light remains lit. The check engine
light is not lit. If I push the set button a couple of times the
cruise will engage and I will not have any problems for a couple of
days. I have a factory manual and went through the trouble shooting
list for this item and it did not have anything specific to this kind
of problem. I have worked on some Toyota's and their cruise is
interconnected to the brake master clyinder oil level. If the level is
too low, the cruise will not kick in and there will be no indication
what the reason is. I did not see a reference to this in my Accord
manual and my brake fluid level is to the top line. The manual also
indicates that a defective brake switch may be an issue. Using a VOM I
checked the action of the brake switch and it seems normal. The switch
is also not on the ragged edge of activation so that is probably not
the cause. Any suggestions as to where to look?
