Terminal hangs on startup I am on OSX Lion. After I Control C the building of Atlas under MacPorts Clang I can no longer get it to run. It start taking around 2GB on startup and even does this after a reboot. After killing the terminal the first time an error report was sent to Apple. The second time killing it did not trigger such a request.
What do I need to do to get the terminal to run again in a normal fashion?
You can try deleting Terminal's saved application state. It's in ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Terminal.savedState. You can also try deleting Terminal's preferences. Those are in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist.

If you don't want to potentially lose the saved state or preferences, you can move them to the desktop before starting Terminal.

In Lion, you can get to ~/Library by holding the Option key while selecting the Go menu in Finder.
