the bidding looks correct at any other vulnerability, at this vulnerability both are close to do something else, I might duplicate the auction but knowing partner is an agressive passer or a sound double I might act otherwise.

South should bid 3♠. North's double is for takeout, isn't it?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I don't understand South's pass.

I don't understand north's double. These doubles normally show balanced hands and are optional, not takeout. A singleton is possible, but a void no way. I prefer either 3♠ or 4♣ to double.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
