Summary: Error when using IID in all builds after 159

Initial Comment:
The following script:

import win32com.client.gencache
Excel = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule
('{00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}', 0, 1, 4)
excel = Excel.Application()

and simliar scripts that use other servers always fail as 
follows in builds 161, 163 and 201:

D:\ws\k2is_source.CC-V2\Tools\Python\diverse>python 
ExcelTest.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ExcelTest.py", line 3, in ?
    excel = Excel.Application()
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-
packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 489, in
 __init__
    if oobj is None: oobj = pythoncom.new(self.CLSID)
TypeError: Only strings and iids can be converted to a 
CLSID.

In builds 153, 155 and 159 the scripts run without errors.

I'm using Python 2.3.3 on Win2k Professional SP 4
