I am using cake 1.13 and I am getting 1 blank line before the DOCTYPE
on all my pages. I have checked my layout file and there is no blank
line there,

Any suggestions how I track down where the extra line is coming from?

I have also checked all my model files, controller files which do not
have blank lines outside the enclosing <?php and ?> tags.

If I add html comments at the beginning and end of app_controller,
app_model and pages_controller, they appear before the blank line and
the DOCTYPE.

If I add an HTML comment before the doctype in the layout file, the
blank line appears before the html comment.

Which bit of cake code runs between loading all the models and the
particular controller, and the rendering of the layout?

I had extra lines at the end of a helper. I never thought to check
those.

$ find -name "*.php" | xargs sed -i -e :a -e '/^\n*$/{$d;N;ba' -e '}'

Removes all trailing newlines from PHP files under the current
directory -- run from app/. Would have fixed your problem straight away.
