Not strictly Linux, but the Linux tools for viewing process status like ps 
and top. Later versions of those tools are better at this.

But the rest of your explanation is correct: Only count the memory for the 
first thread listed, as the others are "ghosts" using the same memory. 
(OTOH, the CPU numbers are additive, as each thread has its own share of 
CPU.)
