I went to use the Terminal today, and suddenly it seems to be stuck. Key presses simply cause beeps and don't display anything, and every new window created has "[Process Completed]" in the command line with a window title of "Completed Command". The Run Command menu item isn't doing anything either.

So far I have tried relaunching the terminal, relogging in, and trashing the terminal preferences, but none of that has worked.

Does anyone know what could be causing this problem, or how to return my terminal to normal?

It sounds like either your default terminal is screwy or your terminal startup commands are. You can check your default terminal using NetInfo Manager. Take a look at users/<your username>, if I recall correctly.

You may have a bad command in your tcsh startup file, which I think is called /Users/<your username>/.tcshrc (I use bash, so I'm not sure). If you can log in as a different user you can examine your version and change it if necessary by su'ing to your username. If not, you can try logging in as the user >console (no password). If that doesn't work, you'll have to reboot and hold cmd-s to get into single user mode.

Hope this does it!

I think this is what happens when you have no shell set in Netinfo. You can either fix it in Netinfo or go into Terminal's preferences, choose Use This Shell and enter a shell path.

You probably really want to fix it in Netinfo Manager though....
