Yes - that can happen if you mix pre-5.8.7 with 5.8.7 and later.

Build 817's perl58.dll exports 'PL_memory_wrap'. And I think the build 815
perl58.dll also exports it (though I no longer have it and can't check).

I don't know what the case is with build 816 - it's a bad build and should
be avoided.

As regards the issues raised in this thread, I've been using build 817.
