Abstract: In recent years, there appeared a considerable interest in the inverse spectral theory for functional-differential operators with constant delay. In particular, it is well known that specification of the spectra of two operators $el{l}_j,$ $j=0,1,$ generated by one and the same functional-differential expression $-y^{″}(x)+q(x)y(x-a)$ under the boundary conditions $y(0)=y^{(j)}(pi)=0$ uniquely determines the complex-valued square-integrable potential $q(x)$ vanishing on $(0,a)$ as soon as $ain[pi/2,pi).$ For many years, it has been a challenging {it open question} whether this uniqueness result would remain true also when $ain(0,pi/2).$ Recently, a positive answer was obtained for the case $ain[2pi/5,pi/2).$ In this paper, we give, however, a {it negative} answer to this question for $ain[pi/3,2pi/5)$ by constructing an infinite family of iso-bispectral potentials. Some discussion on a possibility of constructing a similar counterexample for other types of boundary conditions is provided, and new open questions are outlined.
