Com.htc.bg force close with new 2.1 leak...Help!

I have been running the old leaked version of 2.1 on my phone since the day it was leaked. Today I installed the "new" leak, and now when I restart my phone I get an error saying, "the process com.htc.bg has to close due to an unexpected error." Then it makes me force close the process. My questions are, 1) does anyone know what this process is for? and 2) How do you suggest I fix this issue? Should I re-download from a different mirror? I have already tried re-flashing the zip that I have on my sd card. Any suggestions?
 
I am having the same problem. I get the com.htc.bg force close error aswell. I have found out that the Facebook friend/contact sync i causing the error. So I cant get my contacts to sync up with my facebook friends.. Really annoying.

I only get the error when I try to sync facebook contacts. It would be very nice if someone got a clue of what to do :)

If it matter, I'm using an HTC legend.. brand new.. no other apps installed..

There are several threads/posts on this.

Linking/syncing large numbers of Facebook/Twitter contacts seems to cause this problem. What I can't tell you is exactly what "large numbers" means. I am syncing around 30 contacts with FB and none with Twitter, and have not had any problems.

Yup, it is definitely the Facebook friend/contact sync that is ballsed up. My lad has his brand new HTC Desire, unwittingly allowed Facebook Friend/Contact sync and was getting FCs all the time. Very annoying. But thanks to this thread (found at top of Google search) the problem is solved - and no fuss because he doesn't want/need to sync Facebook contacts with his Google contacts.

I also get the "htc.com.bgp" error.
I don't use facebook. I use modaco rom, cooked in kitchen, no facebook or twitter og peep or anything like that. And no Sense either.
When i look in logcat, there are a few things, that i noticed show up a lot, when i get that error.
1. wifi tethering (though i haven't used it)
2. A short 1-2 ms bluetooth connection (seems bluetooth is trying to connect to something... bluetooth is always off on my phone, and i have never used it, or paired any units)
2. something about a keypad or keyboard or something (htc keyboard is not installed in my rom, if that matters)
I've tried different ROMs, and always get this errormessage, if there is no Sense on my ROM. A few times i also got the message, even if i had Sense.
I have now installed a facebookapp, because so many people mention it, logged in, and still get the errors. I just went to facebook.com as well, to uninstall everything that had to do with android, have to wait to see if that stops the error message.
I did not get this error message, when i used a ROM, that was ported to Desire from Nexus One (also Froyo)
