Crash of build 3145

When running b3145 after a backup this morning and setting it up for
remote extra sensors the system crashed. Noteworthy is that it did not crash completely, some threads remained. A restart was not quick but it took minutes, apparently waiting for a timeout.
When restarted the problem did not reappear so can't reproduce the error.
Logs attached.

Also saw something slightly strange on a restart after upgrading.
Will need to check all logs, but pretty sure it was one of the Pi's as my PC install's logs look fine.

There is a bit of a muddle in the standalone airlink code - it tries to use the WLL API key at one point. Fixed for next release.
Meantime, if you copy the standalone airlink API key, secret, station-id into the corresponding WLL values in Cumulus.ini to should avoid the crash.

I have none of those, I use my own fake airlink so I just have an IP address.
And I just bought a
AQM III which does exactly the same thing (fake an airlink by just the IP). Curious how that is going to work.
But we'll see if it re-occurs sometime at the same point with the next release.
So far all fixes have improved CMX so I have good confidence

The code was checking for blank/null values, then using some other variables!
So yes, if you do not have any API values it may crash until I can get a patch released. I'll have to add that config to my testing, currently I was testing standalone and added to a WLL, but both with API keys.
