If it is is Morocco, Olson believes that the change is at 00:00:00 UTC, not at 12:01:00, or even 00:01:00 UTC. If it is actually one of these, Olson needs an urgent update - it may be too late to not do it retrospectively. (The Olson data indicates a change to DST at 12:00:00 UTC 1967, so it is certainly possible that the 12:01 was in 24 hour format and doesn't mean 12:01 am.)
