Why does launchd keep relaunching this broken app?

A process keeps dying and relaunching. It appears launchd is responsible.

MozyHome has a process called "MozyHomeBackup". It's intended to run at 100% CPU for about 5 minutes and then finish. Instead, it runs at 100% CPU for four minutes then crashes. Somebody keeps restarting it, presumably launchd.

If I 'kill -9' it, it also restarts. I assume launchd is also responsible.

My computer has been at 100% CPU for the last week thanks to this glitch. How can I tell it "seriously don't restart until I tell you to"?
