Could you please clarify? Thanks.
Single carriage returns are usually equivalent to spaces. Multiple
carriage returns separate paragraphs, but they are rare in code chunk
output in my Sweave usage. I normally put plain text in the LaTeX part
of the Sweave document.
I have checked my own .Rnw files, and I have used results=tex about 600
times, but never used strip.white.
I've also looked at the .Rnw files in CRAN packages, and
strip.white=true and strip.white=all are used there about 140 times, but
strip.white=false is only used 10 times. I think only one package
(SweaveListingUtils) uses strip.white=false in combination with results=tex.
So while I agree Martin's "adaptive" option would have been a better
default than "true", I think it would be more likely to cause trouble
than to solve it.

I'd rather say they do. One is like a space, two or more end a paragraph
and start a new one. If newlines are stripped away, the meaning of the
TeX code can change, in some cases dramatically (e.g. if comments are
written to the TeX code).
Also, I don't understand why the option is called strip.white, at least
for results=tex. The docs say that "blank lines at the beginning and end
of output are removed", but the observed behavior is to remove the
terminating carriage return of the output.
