Since Thursday night I'm seeing a high volume of scans

However, they say the problem is on function.php and
I'm seeing them on index.php. Can anyone confirm that?

Some log samples:

Interestingly, putting a zero lenght file (link to /dev/zero here)
"/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9/nonexistentfile.php" seems to stop
them dead... Gotta wonder about the error checking in the 'spoit ;)
