I don't have the hand, but what concerns me was the way that the bids were defined. The auction was:

2N-3S
3N-4S
4N

2N = 20-21 NT
3S = MSS
3N = Denies 4C minor
4S = shortness
4N = Blackwood for spades!
Bridge Personality: 44 44 43 34

This way GIB can find out whether you have stiff ♠K or ♠Q?

Yes, it used to be a glitch call.

It's fixed for the next release and it's going to be as second denial like "To Play" instead of Blackwood.

Similar for 4H ( showing shortness ) and 4NT again.
