Recommended bidding sequence:

West North East South
--- --- --- 1§
1ª 3§1 dbl2 pass
3©!3 pass pass pass.

1 = Uncontested, North should have 5-card support. West's overcall makes it unlikely South opened on a 3-card suit.
2 = Support double: 3-card ª-suit. East is unaware of the better ©-fit.
3 = Smartly takes a free attempt to find a (better) fit in ©.

Recommended bidding sequence:

West North East South
pass pass 1© pass
pass pass1.

1 = Keeping the bidding open is much more likeliy to help the enemy. South didn't take any action, so he can't possibly have more than an average opening hand.
