Comment(by annakrat):

 I am still having this issue, even after OS changed to Windows 8.
 Moreover, I saw this happening on one other Windows 8 computer.

 Yesterday, I realized a similar behavior when working with mask,
 specifically when creating inverse mask during clean up when g.remove is
 called
 http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/scripts/r.mask/r.mask.py#L76

 Debug output showed that some of the files of the raster were removed but
 then it was waiting for a minute or so to delete the rest. I repeated it
 several times, some times it went through without problems sometimes it
 took too long. I have never had problems with deleting rasters before.

 This is really frustrating. Anyone has any idea what would be the possible
 cause of this? Or has anyone experienced this behavior?
