Not a problem.  In this case, the lattice angle gamma = alpha(3) = 
162.864562 degrees (monoclinic: alpha = 90, beta = 90, gamma not equal 90).

This informs that "x symmetry" changes the value of gamma from the 
162.864562 to 90.1 for its internal calculations 
(SRC_symmetry/rstruc.f).  Someone else would have to comment on why 
symmetry uses 90.1 for this lattice type.
