According to the Red Hat bug report for their Swami package, the Swami segfault is caused by an invalid pointer cast (with GPOINTER_TO_INT) on 64-bit systems. Link here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1541394#c2

A workaround is to use the older Swami version 2.0.0+svn389-3, which installs and works without issue on Ubuntu 18.04. You can get the packages here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/swami/

First install libswami0_2.0.0+svn389-3_amd64.deb and then swami_2.0.0+svn389-3_amd64.deb, then lock the package version so Ubuntu doesn't try to update them to the newer, broken version.
