A couple ideas occur to me:

1) check the properties of your terminal (Terminal -> 
Preferences).  It *should* be set to the default /usr/bin/login 
(at least that's what it's set to on my iBook running OS X 10.4) 
If it's set to "Execute this command..." and it points to lynx, 
you've got an easy fix.

2) If it *is* set to the default /usr/bin/login you'll want to 
check your /etc/passwd file and see if your username has an entry 
that's set to `which lynx` for its login shell

3) My last guess would be to check your ~/.bash* files to see if 
one of them is launching Lynx, and then exiting afterwards.  This 
may also include checking your /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc which 
could influence this.

I'm not sure what triggered it to begin with, as I can't imagine 
installing Lynx would do this, but at least this may give you 
some remedies.
