Telling the difference between threads and processes

It started when I got annoyed with gtop's report on resident sizes
and that the sum of resident sizes can be twice that of physical mem.

Turns out that gtop adds the RS of threads and it should be a simple
fix to gtop.

The trouble is that I can't see a proof way from /proc/<pids> to figure
out if the process was clone()'ed with CLONE_VM or not. Is there???
