In our LaTeX, version 2.09, the following is processed correctly:

\begin{eqnarray}
x&=&y\\
z&=&u
\end{eqnarray}

Also the following works fine:

\begin{eqnarray}
 x&=&y\\
z&=&u
\end{eqnarray}

But if empty lines are added, like the following:

\begin{eqnarray}

x&=&y\\
z&=&u

\end{eqnarray}

then LaTeX gets messed up and starts complaining about missing $ etc. Why
is this? It seems to me like a newline and a space should be equal in math
mode. Is this a bug?
