Try opening X11.app, located under /Applications/Utilities/ if you
installed Apple's X11 package. It's basically the same thing as
Terminal.app except that it uses different technology to display the
shell environment. See if this occurs there also. This might help us
narrow the problem down.
Also, try creating a new user through the Mac OS X's System
Preferences->Accounts and see if the problems occur when you are logged
in as that user.

Basically, I am having trouble with Terminal as it is opening, it
tries to run the last command that was run, and then it logs out of
the shell. There is, effectively, no way to open up a Terminal window
and get a command line prompt.
Is there some preference that is causing this to happen? I went thru
the Preferences window, but did not see anything out of the norm.
Currently, the preferences are:
Execute the default shell using /usr/bin/login
I have also tried to use the "Execute this command" with a setting of
/bin/bash, but that still does the same thing.
This problem has only started today, after I was trying to install the
Quark License Server. Quark's tech support basically told me that this
is not their problem, as Terminal is an Apple application. All this,
despite the fact that this problem DID NOT occur prior to the install
of their server.
