Gib E claimed both second double and 4 have 8-11hcp,actually Gib have 5hcp only.I think Gib E should pass after 3 since void in partner's opening suit.
It seems this is a bug.

Not a bug, it's a design feature. Gib counts points for shortness in partners suit!
Sarcasm is a state of mind

It appears to me that Lycier is pointing out the "8-11 HCP" part of the explanation of the second double, not the "9-12 total points" part. East certainly has only 5 HCP, regardless of what he includes in his total points tabulation.
