The latest version of fretsonfire is 1.2.512.dfsg-3, and this version is only available on Intrepid. It is not available on Hardy. In order to test this version, you will need to use fretsonfire on Intrepid. You should be able to test either with a proper Intrepid installation, or simply by trying the LiveCD.
I accept that you are experiencing this problem on Hardy. However, as a new version is available with Intrepid, it is important that you test with this latest version in case the problem has been fixed. I am using Intrepid, and fretsonfire works fine for me.
