Description:
The "FLUSH DES_KEY_FILE" command does not actually reload the file specified with --des-key-file, as indicated in the documentation. This appears to be because the #ifdef in sql_parse.cc which surrounds the call to load_des_key_file() is incorrect (it should be "#ifdef HAVE_OPENSSL" instead of "#ifdef OPENSSL").

How to repeat:
1. Start MySQL with the --des-key-file option.
2. Examine the atime (time of last access) for the key file.
3. Issue a "FLUSH DES_KEY_FILE".
4. Re-examine the atime for the key file - it will not have changed.

or

1. Start MySQL with the --des-key-file option.
2. Add an invalid key to the key file (i.e. a line not starting with a single digit followed by space)
3. Issue a "FLUSH DES_KEY_FILE".
4. Note the absence of a "load_des_file:  Found wrong key_number" error in the logs.

Suggested fix:
In sql/sql_parse.cc, replace the "#ifdef OPENSSL" with "#ifdef HAVE_OPENSSL".

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.
