Oddly enough I actually had this happen this past weekend. I have a daily task that sends plant status update emails and the view template that renders the email body was choking because of an unexpected dividide by zero. The first day after the bad data was entered the scheduled run did simply fail when it hit that record and stop. However, the next day it did just keep trying over and over again and by the time I checked my email it had run several hundred times and I had a thousand plus emails from the part of the scheduler task prior to location with the error. I have had this sort of thing happen a few other times as well.
