I assume you are referring to these name servers:

gtefsd.com.     172800  NS      KANGA.NETOPS.gtefsd.com.
gtefsd.com.     172800  NS      ROO.NETOPS.gtefsd.com.
gtefsd.com.     172800  NS      WLV.IIPO.GTEGSC.COM.
gtefsd.com.     172800  NS      POOH.NETOPS.gtefsd.com.

It would seem that the GTE folks have changed their mind. All these name
servers now report [a-j].root-servers.net as the name servers for ".".
