  [Original Description]
  
  Tornado has no 'flow control' for websockets. A websocket will receive data 
as fast as it can, and store the data in a deque. If that data is not consumed 
as fast as it is written, then that deque will grow in size indefinitely, 
ultimately leading to a memory error and killing the process.
  Fix is to use a Queue. Read and get messages from the queue on the client 
side.

  [Test Case]
- # Before adding patch file
+ I was unable to provide adequate testing and/or a reproducer for this bug.
+ In the bionic patch, the unit tests were failing and I have added another 
patch to address this
