Anthony, Could you tell me how you're starting up the servers? Everything works fine in my setting, so I can't reproduce it. I'm starting up one server at a time, and my config is very similar to yours:
clientPort=2181 quorumPort=1111 electionPort=1112 tickTime=2000 initLimit=5 syncLimit=5 dataDir=/tmp/zookeeper server.1=xxx1:11111 server.2=xxx2:11111 server.3=xxx3:11111 In any case, there seems to be a race condition in QuorumCnxManager, which I'll investigate.
