I can't reproduce this.  The size of the shared_info changed with my
tape drive related checkin from 2013-08-26, but your error message
points to some older process still running, still using the previous
DLL.  Since the shared_info region continues to exist, any newer process
using the new DLL will find that its idea of the sizeof shared_info
doesn't match what has been noted in shared_info itself.  Nothing else
can explain this.

What bugs me is that the change to the mtinfo structure (only the size
of some members were affected) apparently didn't change the value of
CURR_SHARED_MAGIC, but I don't think we can change this short-term.
