I stand corrected! A pure Gump run will only pick up compile time issues.
However, a unit test on someting link the SMTP server will catch this
sort of issue. Aside from that - getting in some unit tests on
individual Cornersone components could be highly valuable - I have a
sneaking suspision that the errors I'm seeing in the James runtime
testing are unrelated to James code and actually concern the file
persistence in the cornerston/store package - but its unconfirmed at
this stage.
