Rebid-3♠ says " 6+♠, 11-12TPs".

Seems E has not counted the spades correctly.

I have noticed when the auction is on the 3 level, often GIB bids a 4 card suit showing more if it can't bid 3NT. Obviously it should pass here, but once it decided not to pass it didn't know what to do.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

The explanation can't be right anyway. If it had a hand with six spades with which it could call freely over 3♥ then it could have just bid 3S to begin with.

An immediate 3♠ would be forcing. The slow route is nonforcing albeit (apparently) encouraging.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

GIB likes to run to a different contract when holding a singleton in partner's suit. Any 4 card suit will do. GIB running to a 4 card suit with no reason to expect support is a recurring theme in this forum.
