The Booster would not give the symptoms. The Master Cylinder _might_ (but 
very doubtful) give the symptom because the rear brake is a drum, and one 
would not notice it being bound if it was not adjusted well. And, even if
it 
was adjusted well, the springs pulling the shoes open could overpower the 
pressure tryuing to close them, while the front disc brakes are held
against 
the rotor causing heat build up and rapid pad wear at the same time.
