Why does my 98 XJ8 cruise control shut off?

My 98 XJ8 cruise control will disengage when the engine is not
pulling - such as at the top of a hill. It then has no memory when
I try to resume the speed. It will stay engaged as long as I'm
going uphill, even for miles. Then it never fails to turn off when
I coast or let off throttle. Any ideas? Thanks.
