I'm getting some strange results from a Hessian calculation. The first recorded mode has a frequency  of 537 cm-1, but is not an imaginary frequency. The next five frequencies are very close to zero ( 3cm-1), but go up beyond that (i.e. only five rotations and translations were printed). Both the input file header and relevant frequencies are pasted below, and any explanation for why this is the case would be incredibly helpful.
