I just recently rooted my phone and installed Bugless Beast 0.7.4 via nandroid backup. While everything is running smooth.. I have run into a little quirk which I can't figure out so was hoping someone might be able to help.

I installed Handcent, and everything is working fine, however I get an additional message notification I can't get rid of until I hit clear. It appeared with chompsms as well and I have no idea what is bringing it up. I turned off all notifications in the stock messaging app but it won't get rid of this.

The exact notification is "New Message(s): You have # unread messages". When I click on it it brings up my default messaging client. However it will not go away after I read the message, until I manually hit clear.

Does anyone know what is causing this? I have checked all my settings and I am pretty sure that only Handcent is enabled.. but I guess I could be overlooking something.
