It's not clear to me what should be different, but the North hand definitely doesn't match the description of the 1NT bid.

I played some hands over the weekend in which (1) GIB CHO passed my 3NT call with seven spades in an auction where CHO bid spades one time, and (2) GIB CHO let me play in 3NT having 6-6 distribution! The funny thing about the second one was that 3NT turned out to be the winning spot, since I had AKJ in his 6 card minor.

It should be allowed to bid 3♦ which is weaker than 2♦ on such hands. If it was weaker still, it should be allowed to bid 1NT which merely says 3-Clubs, 3-Spades, 4+Hearts 6-9HCP. A lot of descriptions are way too descriptive (restrictive).

1C - 1D;
1S - 2D; looks sensible. Walsh can be ignored with this sort of shape.

Unfortunately they will never program that in as its too specific.
