The SYS1808 is cmd.exe's way of telling you to go look for a popuplog entry.
The 0005 is the low order 16-bits of the c0000005 exception code. The truncation is probably a side effect of the fact that cmd.exe is antique 16-bit code.
There are several easy ways to look at the code at the CS:EIP=005b:00023cd2 exception address. I used ida to do a quick disassembly. The benefit is that I got symbolic names for many of the called functions. Another option is crank up the OpenWatcom debugger and view the code near the exception address. Set a breakpoint at the call instruction and run the code.
