Either there is an error in your input, or the phonon code is smarter than
you. I.E. it is applying direction-dependent LO-TO splitting to the modes
at Gamma (one ref: <http://cmt.dur.ac.uk/sjc/thesis_prt/node62.html>)

If there is indeed a problem with your calculation, you should give us more
information in order to get meaningful help.
