I have node-red running in a docker container and it works well for a few days. Then it crashes.  
Last relevant log lines before the crash indicate that some nodes had communication problems. But that shouldn't cause the container to crash.  
Any hints?

Looks like a problem with the pushover node. One for @dceejay

pushed fix as 0.0.16
