OK. I don't have 6.4.1 but have 6.4.2 on Windows 7. Please provide an 
example using spearfish which illustrates the problem. I also need the 
version number of GDAL (printed when rgdal loads). I cannot reproduce your 
problem beyond seeing messages that (raster) files cannot be deleted, but 
which do not matter as the whole location/mapset/.tmp folder where the 
temporary files are stored is emptied when GRASS exits.
