Instant MP GIB 32.
If I can get out for one down it is worth 75% (although I grant that at the other table they were probably an earlier version of GIB).
I guess I should have passed 2S.

There have been other threads (recently, I think) where it was suggested that bidding a suit after making a NT overcall should show 5 of the suit, not 4-5. Maybe this will stop GIB from pulling.

I agree.
However this problem have been not solved for a long time.
Maybe difficult work.

Had North held 4 Spades and a singleton Heart, the 2S bid would not be criticised, but I doubt that North's subsequent bidding would have differed.

This comment appears to speak to North's 2S bid, which I agree is suspect. But having bid 2S, the subsequent 3S is in a different league.

Good point. And since you mentioned the earlier version of GIB (early enough that it used letters, not symbols, for suits in the explanations):
