Do you keep the car in gear when you come to stops and keep your foot on the clutch or do you take it out of gear in neutral and leave your foot off?
The reason I ask this is because my tuner tuned it as if I was holding in the clutch all the time at stops. I normally take it into neutral when I stop whereas he always keeps it gear. The RPM's would drop just enough that the car would cut out every once in awhile. He retuned it and I've been ok ever since.
Ifyou don't go into neutral like I do.....then I'd tell them to check the tune first and then check out the IAC. It's most likely one of those two.

I had the same problem....it was intermittent and didn't do it all the time....just sometimes.

yeah dont mean to add to the band wagon but yeah sounds like they need to re-tune it. also it sounds stupid but check all your wire connections especially tps and iac, and like corrnbread said give the iac a good cleaning and check the iac port on the plenum and clean that too if its dirty. really just start double and triple checkin everything till its narrowed down. but yeahprobly needs a tune. and the original tuner needs a swift kick in the ***. (might ask for a free/discounted 2nd tune)
