Isn't this one of the things search engines do on purpose to make sure you haven't got any lurking Soft 404s?

For that purpose, I have seen things like:

http://example.com/NO-EXIST.html

What I'm referring to is this:

http://example.com/random-numbers-here/valid-page.html

Bing says it's not them, that they may be following links from some directory who may have a toxic data-base and that these bad links will not affect my indexing and will eventually drop-off their crawl. They have not.
