Are the jumpers fitted under the pololu drivers?

I had this problem on my Sanguinololu and it turned out to be poor connection between the stepper motor cable and the board (they were using these 4 way connectors). After wiggling the connectors about the motor would suddenly spring into life. So I ended up putting some solder on the pins to make them thicker to ensure a good mate.
