404's to robots.txt?

So I've noticed quite a lot of connections from web spider programs. I've had a robots.txt
(User-agent: *
Disallow: /) For a long time. But looking closer in my apache logs, am I reading right that it's giving a 404?

65.55.106.173 - - [21/Jul/2009:09:44:43 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 404 208 "-" "msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)" 65.55.106.112 - - [21/Jul/2009:10:11:43 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 404 208 "-" "msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)" 65.55.106.166 - - [21/Jul/2009:11:03:35 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 404 208 "-" "msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)" 65.55.106.160 - - [21/Jul/2009:11:09:07 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 28 "-" "msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)" 65.55.106.180 - - [21/Jul/2009:11:35:34 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 404 208 "-" "msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)"

Same day, no changes made:
X.X.X.X - - [21/Jul/2009:16:47:44 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.0.7, Ant.com Toolbar 1.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" Z.Z.Z.Z- - [21/Jul/2009:16:49:10 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 28 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.172.30 Safari/530.5"

Two different IP's. One myne, one a friends.

Any suggestions as to why (if I'm reading the log right) I'm handing out a 404 to it appears just web crawlers?

# httpd -v

Don't know what other information is needed to help troubleshoot... Running on a os//x box.

Thanks. :)
