Been burned twice recently. May be next time I remember?
The bidding went

Me GIB
1D 1S
2H 3C
3D 3H
3S 6D

I held Ax, AKQx, KJxxx, Jx
GIB had KQxx, xxx, AQT, xxx

In a way I understand GIB. I had a minimum reverse, and it must have played me for three card spade support, hence a singleton club (I checked afterwards). BUT....

If I had 3 spades, surely I would tell GIB about it sooner, and reply 3S to its FSF??? I would think that my 3D already denied both a club stopper as well as 3card support, so how will show honor doubleton support (in case GIB has a goodish 5 timer or better)?

If 3D did not deny three spades, then:

A) how do I show secondary (honor doubleton) support when a FSF follows my reverse?
B) what should I have bid after GIB's 3H?

C) This was IMPs so why did GIB bid 3H instead of 4D setting trumps. At MPs 4H is an interesting shot that may work well.

much easier to see what we're talking about if you post the hand diagram...
