Yes I've seen something similar. WindowServer taking up all the memory.

In one case I also had it crash while I was out, with every open program opened several times on the dock. I didn't do this and in fact macOS doesn't let you do this. Everything was hanging completely so I had to turn it off and on again :)

But this kind of thing does not instill a lot of confidence

See open(1), in particular the -n flag.
