		                        Yes, it looks like you have an imaginary frequency and are not in the global minimum. You may want to contact Marcus Hanwell, the lead Avogadro developer, as I believe this may be an error on their part in handing the output file. 
 
Thanks,

I have performed a frequency calculation on a non-linear molecule, and these are the first 12 projected frequencies: 
 
P.Frequency       
-32.99         
0.00         
0.00         
0.00         
0.00         
0.00 
0.00        
56.85        
77.48       
116.62       
154.38       
250.92 
 
Am I at a local minimum, or am I at a local maximum with one imaginary vibrational mode? I suspect the latter, but when I open the file in Avogadro, it does not list the -32.99 cm^-1 vibration.
