Over the years I've occassionally seen slurp looking in the wrong directory for a real file (especially for deeplinks where it can skip a rung in the tree), but over the last few hours it's been looking for real files in directories that have never existed anywhere in my site.
For example, I have a file bluewidgets/buyone01.html and it's looking for PinkBananas/buyone01.html
Very odd... anyone seen this before... are they looking to see if I've got multiple domains with duplicate content perhaps?
