Does SM check servers in the background without informing the user?

Under SM 2.0.14 Mac I get asked for my Master Password on a seemingly random interval into the session even though I have the Preference set to ask only the first time it is required. This used to work just fine up until about SM 1.1.14 or 1.1.16 or thereabouts, as I recall.

SM 2.6.1 Mac is doing the same thing, and I had sort of expected it not to - i.e.; to do as I select. Doesn't matter if I never open Mail/News or never navigate to a page that requires a password - at sometime into the session it will ask for my Master.

Under 2.0.14 when this happens during a download SM freezes and a Force Quit and relaunch are required to get going again - thus losing any information from the previous session, and the download. I expect the same for 2.6.1, but I haven't been using 2.6.1 long enough to see this occur yet.

I thought I had written a bug on this before, but search shows I haven't. Is SM doing something required in the background that I'm unaware of? If so I won't write a formal bug.

BTW - I've done a virus scans of my systems and I'm clean on all of them.
