I compiled this code on my box, and found several bugs in your code.
For one, the %cs override disappears when assembled.  Don't use %xx:
type overrides in gas code, they are buggy.  Either numeric op them in
or use the one per line cs,es, etc type opcodes.

You also don't adjust the RM SP in the callback (Section 1:).  This would
cause the interrupt to be repeated (and thus the hang under CWSDPMI).
Since interrupts are handled differently by different hosts, you will
see different behavior.

After finding these two bugs, I quit looking.  I didn't bother to see if
it worked at that point.

I have learned this means very little.  Win 3.1 and other DPMI providers
sometimes have hacks in them to handle common coding bugs.
