This might make you feel better.
Mine has gotten to the point that it won't even start when warm. Nearly had it towed last week when I shut it down to fill up with gas. By the time the tow truck arrived it started and I was able to drive home. Fires up great cold, runs great, but if I turn it off and try to restart hot I can just crank away till the battery is nearly dead.
My original 1938 ford flathead does that same thing. I've been told it's caused by a bad coil that fails when it gets hot.
Check your spark next time it happens.

i had the same problem with my hemi. i have a electric fuel pump with a MSD ignition system. it used to start instantly hot or cold. then i started to have hot start problems that got worse over time. i replaced the coil without any improvement. i changed the distributor and the problems went away. a friend did some voltage test to the pick up coil and found that the pick up coil changed resistance when i warmed up.
