[openssl.org #297] Bug report on Win32: openssl arguments

Openssl-0.9.6g on WindowsXP/Windows2000 + MS Visual Studio 6.0 SP5
I created everything with

perl Configure VC-WIN32 no-threads (used ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6)
ms\do_ms
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak

If I try:

..\bin\openssl ca -days 3650 -policy policy_anything -out
.\dealer\newcert.pem -infiles .\dealer\newreq.pem  -config .\openssl.cnf

I get

Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
error loading the config file '/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf'
3020:error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such
process:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:104:fopen('/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf','rb')
3020:error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system
lib:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:106:3020:error:0E064002:configuration file
routines:CONF_load:system lib:.\crypto\conf\conf_lib.c:91:

while if I try (just switch argument order):

..\bin\openssl ca -config .\openssl.cnf -days 3650 -policy policy_anything -out
.\dealer\newcert.pem -infiles .\dealer\newreq.pem

I get OK.

Thanks and regards
