Does the OSPF process id have anything to do with its autonomous system
number? In the sample configuration I found from the Cisco web site
(http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/np1_
c/1cprt1/1cospf.htm#xtocid709131), it uses the autonomous system number in
the 'router ospf' command. I am a little confused.

That won't be a problem at all since the "process ID" means different 
things for EIGRP and for OSPF.  For EIGRP it servers as a routing domain, 
for instance a router with an EIGRP with a process number of #100 will only 
communicate with other routers with the same process id.  With OSPF however 
the process ID refers to the routing process on the router and it has no 
significance beyond that particular router so you could have one router 
with OSPF process ID 1 and one with OSPF process ID 2 that would 
communicate just fine.  Having EIGRP and OSPF have the same process ID 
won't cause any problems at all.
Your updating problem must be stemming from some other issue, you could 
always post your configs if you wanted some help.
