So it looks like Yahoo is requesting the same rubbish on other websites and
indexing the resulting error pages.

Let's see what's in today's 404 list...

Here's a good one:

> "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp;
> http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)"

So what happens if I search for "linux_drivers_net_irda_uircc.c.htm" at
Yahoo..?

<http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=FP-pull-web-t&p=linux_drivers_net_irda_ui
rcc.c.htm>

Dozens of error pages! Someone should tell Yahoo their bot is broken. Oh
wait, I already did :-P
