Suspected bidding database or algorithm bug

I have played with robots quite a lot and usually find their bidding reasonable. This is my first post to this forum, so hope this is appropriate content. If not, apologies in advance.

 

A hand come up today that I think shows a bug in the bidding database or algorithm.

 

In 4th seat with 4 Q75 AK765 AJ83, the auction was:

 

P P P 1D

P 1H 1NT X (sandwich NT and support X)

2S P P 3C

 

GIB explains 3C in this auction as showing 5+D, 3H, 5+S, 21- HCP. I think it should be 5+D, 3H, 4+C, 21- HCP. I didn't check before bidding 3C and the rest of the auction is not pretty. I realize my 3C is pushy but I didn't want to sell out with a singleton S, though double might have been a better bid.

Yes 3 is bidding opponents suit. So will definitely be showing much stronger hand than you have so things will go bad after that.

To give you 5 there is some flaw, obviously you open 1 then but I don't see any reason to give you any amount of spades.
