Strange page hits in SlimStat logs, not in TXP logs

These entries show up in my SlimStat visitor logs, as part of an otherwise ‘normal’ visit. Coming from a regular referrer, it lands on the homepage, then it shows these, and after these some existing pages again. In the Textpattern logs only the existing pages are showing.
What does it mean, and is it something to worry about?

These are script kiddies trying to exploit FrontPage Extensions (without success) and other random URLs.

As for textpattern: It doesn’t log 404 hits.

O.K. thanks both. I thought I recognized the _vti_bin part from a far, far ago past ;)

There’s a related FAQ.
