From a Ben point of view, I seem to remember this bug was already documented here.
Seeing as Lorserker has miraculously resuscitated, maybe he could confirm
From a bridge point of view, I think Gerber was (yet again) inappropriate.
You know there are 32-34 points on the line and you have 6 running diamonds.
6NT looks almost inevitable and does not depend upon number of Aces (barring the freak of opps holding 2 Aces and no other honour, even then they have to find both).
But 7♦ also looks likely and well worth investigating.

I thought i saw that all bids above 3NT are not defined. If so hard to bid slams scientifically.

Why is Gerber inappropriate when there is a chance you are missing 2 aces, especially playing with Ben? OK, one reason would be that Ben makes random responses to Gerber. BTW, sometimes you won't have 12 tricks even if the opponents don't cash their 2 aces.
