"You can't reconnect to a broken ssh connection, and in fact it
should have killed all the processes you were running...."

Agreed. Unless the process had been detatched from the ssh tty before the connection broke, it should have been killed by the OS. And if the process had been detatched or run with nohup, I don't know of any way to re-attach a new tty to the process.
