If East has a spade loser, then he will be looking at dummy's assets as a potential home for his losers. You can see that the diamonds are going to provide plenty of winners if declarer has one or two diamonds, but partner cannot be void or surely East would have suggested a final contract in that suit.

So, what to do?
