That's certainly not supposed to happen.
What kind of application are you using? Are you 100% sure that it
actually closes the connections as it should? The situation sounds a bit
like a runaway connection pooling or such thing...
If you run a "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity" query, does it show up all
the processes as active backends?

That would be the classic symptoms of a windows system running out of
memory...
