You don't need to be root anymore supposedly :)
But anyway, this is from a post ages ago on the list they may help you:

Ooops, that piece of code was forgotten to remove. :-(
It was intended only for the 1.0.1.x pre-releases as long as the
new pluggin stuff wasn't audited enough. Before releasing 1.0.2 I _did_
carefully check for security implications, but could not find any
greater danger than with suid-root on the older versions.
So, in src/plugin/coopthreads/coopthreads.h change
-#if 1
+#if 0
#include <unistd.h>
#define COM_CHECK_PERMISSIONS { \
in order to get suid-root running again.
