Here is another example of how GIB is seemingly incapable of coping with a t/o X of 1-suit based on multiple hand types.
MP, best hand South, instant, pro GIB 30.
Focus on East's 4H.
So far (immediately prior to 4H):

N/S are in a partscore
East has already shown some Hearts (granted not 6 of them)
Your call.
