The correct way to exit any *nix terminal or log out of a console (when not in X) is Ctrl-D. Likewise for an ssh connection when you want to exit or close it.

The exit command should still work, however... I don't know what's going wrong, but it's an interesting problem.

Do you happen to use Cairo Dock or similar and launch terminal windows from it?
