GS Cet: slightly positive Pdot

   Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team, S. Shugarov's team,
Josch Hambsch, Tamas Tordai and Osaka Kyoiku U. team
have reported new observations.  The object now shows
stage B superhumps with a marginally positive Pdot
(+3.6(2.2)*10^(-5).  The mean superhump period is
0.05658(2) d.  The small Pdot appears to be
consistent with a relatively low q, although
the duration of stage A was not as long as in
period bouncers.
