Maybe, maybe not... what Oracle version ?

PMON does the cleanup, so you may have 1 process pegging your CPU at 100%,
which is not what you see. How does your stress tester work exactly and
what happens when you stop it ? (my guess is that shadow processes may
have gone into a CPU loop if detached from the calling process and yes
that would be abnormal behavior on Oracle's side).

If Oracle couldn't manage 1800 connections that would be bad news :)
