latest footmisc on ctan (the one on the latex companion disc, if not
also the latest tex live) plays with the setspace package.

from the documentation:

% \item[\normalfont\textsf{setspace}] The \textsf{setspace} package
%   modifies the line spacing is calculated in footnotes.
%   \textsf{Footmisc} knows about this, and preserves the change.
%   However, you \emph{must} load \textsf{setspace} \emph{before}
%   \textsf{footmisc}.
