[Jean-Jacques Lafay]

You shouldn't hijack existing threads... (even yours, since it was 
already a hijacking :-)

There is no UI : see 27B1a. There has been some discussions about 27B1b, 
however, some suggesting that it amounts to almost the same as if the 
withdrawn call was UI, whereas those who suppose that explicitely 
disabling 16C2 must mean something say that only results that would be 
improbable without the IB should be adjusted.
This may be the case here, where the outcome is unclear at best if N 
passes the 2S opening, especially if E feels like preempting to the 5 
level to keep S as much in the dark as possible. If he had SAK (which I 
doubt since he apparently didn't cash them against 4H), I could adjust 
to 5H -1, but with a most probable minor suit lead, no adjustment (5 of 
a minor seems at least 4 off).
