In case you have the PROCFS mounted (usually under /proc) you can get a 
detailed listing of the memory map of a process, together with the 
relevant flags for the various memory segments that indicate memory 
sharing etc.  Try this:

   cat /proc/<pid>/map

'<pid>' is of course to be replaced by the PID of the process you want 
to examine.
