Terminal crashing

Please verify that you are using gnome-terminal and tell us the version
number, also try using xterm and see if that crashes too

If it does, try running:

( exit 1 )

If that exits the terminal, check your bashrc and profile scripts for a
line that looks like this

set -e

It's a common prank that makes bash exit after any failed command
