I know it is true for Linux and OSX (as UNIX descendants). On Windows the situation may be less straightforward if you include system-defined environment variables, but I have been forced to restart some program that would start other programs more than once, because the changed environment was not automatically copied into the child processes. If somebody else has evidence to the converse, I will stand corrected :).
