MPI calls by a thread not attached to an endpoint are erroneous. If a thread is attached it will return the rank of the enpoint it is attached to.

Correct "the endpoint that the calling thread is attached to". Again, a comm object is thread local and should not be passed across threads -- the results are undefined if it is passed.
