I've got our web server emailing me every time a 404 pops up on the
assumption that our site, or one of the sites we host, has a broken link.
The blind stab at /cgi-bin/phf has been happening for a very long time,
though it has suddenly become more popular.  The other two I hadn't seen
much of until recently.

I definitely suspect script-kiddies, enough that I want to set those to
pop up a page saying "Just what do you expect to find here?"  Or at least
dump all the parameters.  Hmmmm.....
