I had the same problem  with the same versions of kernel and htop on
Feisty. This is a major problem as I use htop a lot. I was able to
resolve the problem by manually downloading htop version 0.8 from
sourceforge and building from source.

For anyone else who needs to do this, apt-get these packages: libncurses5-dev 
build-essential
I also had my kernel header packages installed but I don't think they are 
needed.

After those packages are installed it is a simple:
./configure
make
sudo make install

Hope this helps!
