If you'd like to control this behavior, see man stty and read about hup and -hup. Actually, I just read the man page and it's very unclear on this. I'm not sure if FreeBSD works the same as previous unixes I've used. Try stty hup and logout and see if the processes get terminated and then try again with stty -hup. I think -hup tells stty to NOT terminate processes active when you logout. Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
