Um, no.  There is *no* expectation of a random command surviving loss of 
its controlling tty (ie logout) unless explcit steps were taken to 
mitigate it.  Such as the command daemonizing itself or ignoring 
SIGHUP -- either explicitly or via use of nohup (which also gives the 
added benefit of capturing stdout)

'&' in of itself was *never* any sort of guarantee, regardless of 
foolish expectations to the contrary.
