Sounds like a good suggestion.

Can you make a feature request at

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=addbug&group=gnubg

Shouldn't the operating system be able to provide that information?

Also, I don't think it's possible to provide accurate information. For
example, gnubg loads two bearoff databases of approximately 8 MB into
resident memory. However, on systems that support mmap all instances of
gnubg will share loaded database, since it's read only data. Same
arguments can be applied to shared libraries (e.g., DLLs). 

Does anyone know which systems could be used to retrieve this
information from the operating system?

Possibly, but not anytime soon.
