I tracked this down to a low ulimit setting on the particular jenkins host where this was failing (max processes).
Specifically the following test was failing on trunk, but not on branch 3_3, which concerns me ./src/java/test/org/apache/zookeeper/test/QuorumZxidSyncTest.java there haven't been any real changes to this test between versions, any insight into why the server is using more threads in trunk vs branch33?
