This is very familiar for me on Mac OS X. Here it's found that using
ttys is not reliable. (setq process-connection-type t) in .emacs
'corrects' this.
Your problem is that some shell rc file writes something into /dev/tty
or such without first checking whether it's allowed or useful. So check
the code in your shell's rc file(s), for example make the shell
verbosely list what it's doing during its initialisation while working
on the rc file(s)!
