It seems to me that having some process identified with a endpoint

process that originally created the endpoint).
Even after that process has exited?
And later, when some other process has been assigned that process id?

I'd rather see the description change, perhaps to something like:
"The system's process ID for a process associated with
this endpoint, or zero if there is no such process.
This may be the process that created the endpoint
or one of the processes that is presently associated
with the endpoint. This value is expected to be the
same as HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunIndex or
SYSAPPL-MIB::sysApplElmtRunIndex for some row in the
appropriate tables."
