It is apparently an informal term meaning to grumble- see meaning number 23 (!) in Collins here. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/crib Another dictionary refers to it as an old British term

Cribbage?
Cribbage
def 23

cribs, cribbing or cribbed
19. (tr) to put or enclose in or as if in a crib; furnish with a crib
20. (tr) informal to steal (another's writings or thoughts)
21. (Education) (intr) informal to copy either from a crib or from someone else during a lesson or examination
22. (Building) (tr) to line (a construction hole) with timber beams, logs, or planks
23. (intr) informal to grumble
I've been trying to find a reason why crib(b) means complain?
