Help
When partner jumps to 3NT GIB should anticipate a singleton or void in 'his' major and only pull to a seven card suit. Pulling to a five card suit is very odd. If partner did have three card support they might attempt to find a 5-3 fit rather than jumping to game. This has happened to me a few times.

Silly bot! Why should he fail in 4♥ when he can let you fail in a hopeless 3N?
One of you needs to stop this silliness. The bot will not!

You must know the rules well - so that you may break them wisely!

Thanks for reporting.
Fixed in v28. So with no slam ideas GIB would pass.
3NT doesn't need to hint to short majors ( void rather not reasonable as you could just pass if you have void and solid minor holdings while with the void in partner AKQxx could be not confortable 3NT), could be even with 3-3 in majors with hand 3334 and AJ10 in diamonds.
