Strange issue with static const member variable changing value

Vote count:

Suppose I have a class with a static const member variable,

class foo {
public:
   foo(){}
   bool foo(int someNum){return num > someNum}
private:
   static const int num;
};

const int foo::num = 321;

If I decide to debug this in Visual Studio 2013 something odd is happening for me; foo(2) will return false when 321 > 2 is obviously true. When I debug this, the debugger tells be that the value of num is actually 1 instead of 321. Anyone have any ideas of what can be causing this?
