This actually sounds like a problem with Terminal.app, if I  
understand you correctly. I had a similar problem at some point, but  
can't quite remember how I fixed it. If you open the preferences for  
Terminal.app, what do you see?
You'll also want to browse the various tabs in the “Window Settings”  
of Terminal.app, found from the menu titled “Terminal”.
In any case, all this should give you some ideas as to what gets  
loaded and why, when you start a new terminal window.

You could also try downloading iTerm (http://iterm.sourceforge.net/)  
and compare, to find out if the problem is indeed with Terminal.app  
or with the actual shell.
