I made no claims about how to fix OP's problems. I'm not sure if FILE is even threadsafe to begin with. If we knew Phobos was updated to respect shared, it'd be an indicator of misuse. Even blindly marking the destructor as shared, OP may have to cast away shared in order to use the struct... Here be dragons :)
