some weirdness:
- description of 4s says both 6+d and 3-card diamond. Which does North think South has? can description be fixed?
- I kind of wanted to bid 5s as South but it was described as cue bid for diamonds and forcing. Can't it just be offer to play? I doubled since it seemed to describe my hand other than the 6+d/3-card diamond contradiction thing.
- shouldn't North with extra diamond and big double fit try 5s at some point? Maybe 5s definition needs to be adjusted so it can consider bidding it?

The 3+ diamonds of course doesn't belong in the definition. On the second question, it's kind of advanced for what I would get into, and not that clear anyway since you are showing willingness to play 6D either way. For the third question, GIB is generally terrible at 5 level and higher decisions about whether to pull doubles, and that is not close to being fixed.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

The description of 4S also includes "strong rebiddable ". The posted definition of "strong rebiddable" is a 6-card suit including 8+HCP in the suit. This seems a bit much to be required of a second suit, even at the 4-level.
