This is a known problem, it's been in the DJGPP port of Groff from day 
one.  I didn't have time yet to debug it, and the message is harmless (it 
doesn't prevent Groff from working, it just leaves behind the temp file), 
and only when `grops' is run.

I guess the program tries to delete a file that is still open, and 
Windows doesn't like that.  Feel free to debug this if you have enough 
motivation.

Which register?  Look, it's just a bug, so the way to debug this is to 
download the sources and squash the critter.
