A program of mine takes more than 12 hours to run. So I did the

And then I see this:
[me@myhost] nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'
Then if I do
ps efu
I do see that the program is running.
So, I logged out.
Then I logged in, just to make sure that the process is still running.
But only to find that it has been killed.

Are you doing this on your own machine, or ssh'ing to a remote host?
If the latter then quite possibly sysadm has it set to kill a user's
running processes when you log out and you can't change this.
