I was so pissed at the time that I just posted the message as soon as I 
discovered the problem :) The terminal for another user worked fine, so 
I've started deleting all the various crap in ~/Library/Preferences 
(Terminal prefs were not the culprit though), repaired permissions, 
fscked the disk, and eventually the things were back to normal.
