As was alluded to, if it doesn't work when you "do that" (STIMERM WAIT), then don't "do that".
If you want to be able to "communicate" then you wait on multiple ECBs and do not use STIMERM WAIT, but use STIMERM with an exit that posts one of the ECBs. The "communication" can be by posting one of the other ECBs. If you want only to terminate B (disruptively) then use DETACH.
