Summary: GetObject fails under Win32all-153

Initial Comment:
GetObject fails to retrieve an instance of an object when 
a moniker is used.
For example, when working with WMI the following
will fail :-

>>> import win32com.client
>>> o = win32com.client.GetObject("winmgmts:")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python23\lib\site-
packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 73, in 
GetObject
    return Moniker(Pathname, clsctx)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\site-
packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 88, in 
Moniker
    moniker, i, bindCtx = 
pythoncom.MkParseDisplayName(Pathname)
com_error: (-2147221020, 'Invalid syntax', None, None)


I believe there is a bug in the implementation of 
MkParseDisplayName - possible corruption of passed 
moniker string.
