A couple of integrations to my previous comment.

1) Areca includes an swt.jar file with its own libswt-gtk. This version of swt-gtk conflicts with the glib in saucy and trusty 64 bit and makes areca crash.

2) In order to make areca work with ubuntu's libswt-gtk it is sufficient to get areca's swt.jar out of the way. For instance:

mv <areca dir>/lib/swt.jar <areca dir>/lib/swt.jar.bak

Unfortunately, this does not help. Areca segfaults even with the ubuntu's libswt-gtk that also seems to have issues with recent glib.

3) Installing in the areca lib directory the latest swt.jar downloaded from eclipse which brings in libswt-gtk-4332.so (and uninstalling ubuntu's libswt) the issue is fixed.

IMHO, this indicates that there is an issue in swt.jar that has been fixed in the latest swt. Maybe, the fix is related to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=407077.

In any case, I believe that the libswt that is in trusty should be fixed or updated.
