Seeing "errors" from GIB of late that have not occurred before, have the latest
fixes introduced other problems?

Most egregious example:

I've played enough to know most of GIB's potholes but came upon a trivial example
today where GIB made an inexplicable choice on a routine sequence that i've never
seen before.

I opened 1N in 3rd seat, GIB transferred to spades (via 2H) and over 2S
instead of a routine 3N bid (or even a poor 3D choice) he bid 3S!

I agree Jim that is a case where GIB has handled the auction correctly in the past. I wish BBO would be more specific about what improvement they were trying to make that caused it to go off the rails here.

Introducing new bugs due to unintended interaction with old code is very common in software, but I must admit this is a "book" sequence that seems like it shouldn't have been affected.
