You're not allocating memory for the struct tms anywhere.  As it stands
you are passing an uninitialized garbage pointer to times().  I didn't
look up times() in the manual, but this should probably say

    struct tms arg;
    ElapsedSystemTime=times(&arg);

Note that I declared "arg" as a value of type struct tms, not as a
pointer.  It's also possible that you need to initialize that value,
consult the documentation of times() for that issue.

so long, benny
