xmcd as non-root user

[judd@wadsworth.org]

     After a dist-upgrade, xmcd will no longer run unless I am logged in
as root (I am running testing).  I used to be able to run it as a user.
When I start it from a shell, I get the following message:

   xmcd Fatal Error:
   Xmcd binary permissions error: It should be setuid root.  Please have
   your system administrator correct this.

but ls -l shows:

   -rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root         1223 Nov 21 23:43 /usr/bin/xmcd
   
What am I doing wrong?
