The kill -9 xxxx command worked for me to kill it. I followed the advice and removed privoxy (which I wasn't using anyway), and I haven't seen "sh" run away since then. ...I think it worked.

exit is good.. hitting 'x' may sometimes be bad.. but I've only seen the problem if I hit 'x' when I'm running another program in xterm, e.g. 'vi'. Kill the xterm with 'x' when in 'vi' results in 100% CPU and a runaway shell.
