Actually 3♣ with 6-card long suit should be a best spot and a playable contract for Gib,after my penalty double,Gib W run away,and rebid 3♥ wrongly -- repeat bidding same values twice,then Gib E run away ,select 4♦,very bad,obviously this is an unsuccessful guess.

Something is internally inconsistent about the descriptions of East's bids. Can he really have 4+♣; 4+♦; 10+total points and pass after 1♠?

The problem is in the description, and the programming fitting that description. 3C in this auction would always show a 6 card or longer suit. "4+" is nonsense. This is one of GIB's worst and most commonly appearing weaknesses. Of course the 4D call over the 3 times bid H suit is far worse, whoever programmed it to bid like that should be fired!
