I just had my 2001 with 22000 miles on it re-torqued. They also did a TSB modification of enlarging the crankcase breather which should help reduce this leakage (so the Tech told me). He said if this didn't work, he would replace the head gasket.
I asked him why they didn't replace the cylinder head bolts, since I have never re-used cylinder head bolts because they stretch after being used from heating up and cooling down over the life of the engine. I don't think you can get an accurate torque reading by re-torquing "used" cylinder head bolts. He didn't disagree with me, but simply said "this is the procedure Saab tells us to do, if it doesn't work we will replace the head gasket under warranty).
I think he agreed with me but didn't want to admit it.
