This sounds like the same behavior I was seeing with Terminal.app.
Your shell is dying on creation, and when the shell goes away, so

the terminal window. I can no longer find the article on this, but I
haven't had the problem in a while. I used to have every other shell
crash, but I changed Terminal.app to directly call /bin/zsh
instead of
going through login and I seem to remember that helping. Look for
something with Terminal.app and [process completed] on google for
more
information.
I've seen something similar under X11 on redhat a few years ago. It
happened if there were errors in either .bashrc or .profile (or the
equivalents for your $SHELL). Might be worth just checking those
are okay, and any programs or utilities they run aren't causing
problems. I'd also look in the system ones just to be safe
and .xinitrc as well.
Just a thought.
It's a very VERY good idea. Since it's intermittent, it's hard to
catch. I'll try simplifying my .bashrc/.profile and see what happens.
