Gib isn't programmed to handle this hand.
Gib thinks it has a great hand and is willing to play in 3♠ opposite nothing where the opponents have at least 5 trumps and all the honour spots opposite a zero pt hand.
Gib just doesn't have such a hand.
To be fair if you do have serious heart or diamond length and the 6 points you have there could be a lot of tricks.
I am not sure what I would bid with hand but I would know I dont have a great hand.

Sarcasm is a state of mind

The worst part seems to be that 2♠ is described as forcing to 3♠, instead of 3♥. 3♠?!?!

Why on earth didn't S raise ♠ with 3 card support?

virgosrock - I'm going to have to ask you to stop playing robot games because you seem to have seriously broken GIB. 
2♠ is apparently natural (forcing to 3♠)??? and 3♥ is forcing???

LOL johnu. I think it is the volume of hands I play.
Note the principles - length in opps suit and a void. Upgrade to the skies.
Time and time again.

The blurb says "at best stop in ♠" which seems to deny a suit to raise.
