worker: prevent deadlock by flooding worker.Messages channel
Send to worker.Messages in goroutine to prevent deadlocks: the UI can fill the worker.Actions channel. The worker can generate more than one Message per action, and if it generates enough to fill the worker.Messages channel from a single message while the worker.Actions channel is full, a deadlock occurs.
