I'm thinking one of two things, either
a) when you're ssh'ed in, and then open vim, it sends a certain (too much?) amount
of traffic through whatever qdisc/class ssh goes through, and this is causing your 
kernel problem - try doing ls in a large directory, or cat'ting a largish text file. 
  does the panic still occur ?

b) you've got some bug in your kernel and/or vim, that's only evident when you've 
loaded the imq modules - try running vim in the same circumstance with the imq module 
loaded, but no queues setup, then add one at a time.

good luck.
