The latest version of this package was still built with gcc 2.95.

Are there any improvements over the released version that would
justify an upgrade of the Debian package?

Sure.  This is what we call the gcc 3.2 transition.  BTW, I ran into
your very problem during this transition and documented this *quite*
clearly in the Debian changelog.  If you are running unstable, I
strongly recommend that you install apt-listchanges, so changelogs are
shown to you on upgrades.

Because startmol is a shell script, and suid bits are ignored on shell
scripts.

Use sudo or somesuch.
