Uwe Ligges (ligges at statistik.tu-dortmund.de) is the maintainer. But 
isn't this expected behaviour? The help says

debug     if FALSE (default), WinBUGS is closed automatically when the 
script has fin-
                ished running, otherwise WinBUGS remains open for 
further investigation

IIRC, you just need to close WinBUGS, and it'll return to R.

You only need to use debug=T if BUGS is trapping or throwing errors (and 
have fun understanding the traps).
