That makes it harder - you will either need to try and run it in a debugger
to find where it crashes, or add some debugging statements.

No - the problem happens before the video mode is set - the code has set
the ES register to be an invalid value before calling this interrupt.  
If you put a "push ds; pop es" instruction sequence before the _dpmi_int 
call (or the assembly call to int 31, whichever was done) it should 
fix the problem.  Since ES is wrong, I suspect some bad assembler?

No version of CWSDPMI (or any other DPMI provider) will fix this, 
it's a program bug.
