The only way I can see for that to happen is if the agent is killed
whilst the job is being processed. That will cause the job's nextrun
time to be reset during zombie clearance when the agent restarts. In
the normal case, the job will be run as soon as the agent enters the
main processing loop, where it will select all jobs with nextrun <=
now() and process them immediately.
