I am able to reproduce this bug under FreeBSD, too. So it does not seem to be a Windows specific
issue. I am using PHP 5.3.8 compiled via the latest FreeBSD ports tree. The putenv() hint does not
work, either. Passing the config value within the config array directly to the openssl function
works - but can of course only be a quick and dirty workaround.

> Where do you set it? System wild? manually in your script?

In httpd.conf in a global scope:
| SetEnv OPENSSL_CONF D:\sandbox\openssl.cnf

You can see that it is set in the actual result:
| var_dump(getenv('OPENSSL_CONF'));
| // string(42) "D:\sandbox\openssl.cnf"

(hint: don't look at the string length, I scrambled the path in this bug report)

> putenv("OPENSSL_CONF=whereyouwanit");

No change in the actual result. Even if I do this:

| putenv("OPENSSL_CONF=", getenv('OPENSSL_CONF'));

It only works if I use the $configargs parameter directly (see my first comment 
at 2011-10-28 11:48 UTC)

Where do you set it? System wild? manually in your script?

try:

putenv("OPENSSL_CONF=whereyouwanit");
.. rest of your code..

Only to verify a possible cause.

BTW, this is the work-around

var_dump(openssl_pkey_new(array(
	'config' => getenv('OPENSSL_CONF'),
)));

Description:
------------
setting OPENSSL_CONF is ignored in openssl* functions despite the documentation 
lists it as the first location where the configuration file is searched

http://de2.php.net/manual/en/openssl.installation.php


Test script:
---------------
<?php

header('Content-Type: text/plain');

echo "Current PHP version: ", phpversion(), "\n";

echo "*** OPENSSL_CONF\n";
var_dump(getenv('OPENSSL_CONF'));

echo "\n*** Errors before calling openssl_pkey_new\n";
while (($e = openssl_error_string()) !== false) {
	var_dump($e);
}

echo "\n*** Calling openssl_pkey_new\n";

var_dump(openssl_pkey_new());

echo "\n*** Errors after calling openssl_pkey_new\n";
while (($e = openssl_error_string()) !== false) {
	var_dump($e);
}


Expected result:
----------------
Current PHP version: 5.3.8
*** OPENSSL_CONF
string(42) "D:\sandbox\openssl.cnf"

*** Errors before calling openssl_pkey_new

*** Calling openssl_pkey_new
resource(2) of type (OpenSSL key)

*** Errors after calling openssl_pkey_new


Actual result:
--------------
Current PHP version: 5.3.8
*** OPENSSL_CONF
string(42) "D:\sandbox\openssl.cnf"

*** Errors before calling openssl_pkey_new

*** Calling openssl_pkey_new
bool(false)

*** Errors after calling openssl_pkey_new
string(51) "error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process"
string(53) "error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file"
string(63) "error:0E064002:configuration file routines:CONF_load:system lib"
string(51) "error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process"
string(53) "error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file"
string(63) "error:0E064002:configuration file routines:CONF_load:system lib"
