Allright I'll take a crack at this. I think I would bid over a xfer to hearts but not over stayman - this is going to be really easy for them to double if spades are splitting 4-x either way and my suits just have a few too many holes for my tastes - the hand could easily fall apart and go for a really really big number. I guess if I'm not going to bid I might as well X so partner doesn't lead a diamond. All this being said, I would secretly wonder if I should have been bidding - after all if partner has Jx Qx in my suits I might even make game.

Red on white, ops have 25+ hcp, with the strong hand on my left. I think I keep quiet.

Well obviously you double if you're not bidding, you don't want partner leading a red suit and he probably won't lead a spade anyway. And I don't overcall, it looks way too risky. If lho psyched favorite he picked a really good time for it.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

3 spades might very well work, but since partner is spected to have 4 or 5 hearts it looks like missfit, I'd double
