would have been wise to bid minimum 3-Clubs on his second turn instead of the power-showing single jump to 4-Clubs, North would have shown a mere preference at 3-Diamonds, whereupon South might have tried 4-Diamonds to see if North was interested in game. He would have passed and South might have been down about one trick not doubled.
With East, however, bidding hearts and West failing to support the suit, there was a great chance that North had fairly long hearts. North had already bid spades, so a goodly number of his cards could have been placed by South in the majors. That should have warned South to go extra slow. His 4-Clubs, instead of a mere three, was grossly unpardonable in these circumstances.
In the 5-Diamonds doubled, South got set two tricks, and could have been beaten worse by better defense than his opponents put up against him.
