The only thing I could ever think of was a link pointing to that address.
I have just run a Web search for that address, but nothing came up. The
intersting thing is that requests come from different IP addresses and the
pattern is stochastic. There have been 3 requests so far today, all from
unique IP's. I wonder if Apache can somehow be configured to suppress
these errors. cPanel does not allow this though I tried several times be-
fore. I suspect these error started to come up about 6 months ago, maybe
less.
