P-1♥-1♠-2♠
P-3♣-all pass...

2♠ was alerted as limit raise or better.

My 3♣ bid was alerted by GIB as 4+♣ 5+♥ 21-HCP, 13-22 total points.

♠95
♥Q65
♦K73
♣KQT82

♠AT82
♥AKJ93
♦
♣AJ93

edit: I guess I cannot edit title. GIB

Another "nobody defined the followups"?
Which admittedly might be true in a human partnership too, but a slam can hardly be missed after any continuation.

Ouch. That one makes no sense at all.

Could possibly be related to the more well-known one where GIB passes a game try. Something to do with thinking it's OK to pass without extras when in a known fit, even if that wasn't the fit you were meant to be in. Obviously a major bug.
I have nothing worth contributing, bye

Passing in a ridiculous contract is always an option for GIB.

fwiw, this was in the free weekend survivor game on Sunday.

every other GIB also passed in the above auction.

For opener rebids, GIB did not pass 3♠, it did not pass 3♦, it did not pass 4♦, it did pass 6♥.
