Because some other REXX script registered it and left it registered.

While it is a good idea to deregister private REXX libraries when you are
done with them, the use of REXXUtil is so pervaisive, there's not much
benefit to doing this. I already register it, just in case, and leave it
registered on exit. The next script that needs it runs a bit faster. :-)

I suspect something changed and nothing gets unloaded until every session
unloads the library. Try this which is even simpler than your test case:

/* REXX */
say 'rxfuncquery sysloadfuncs' RXFUNCQUERY("SYSLOADFUNCS")
say 'rxfuncquery sysdropfuncs' RXFUNCQUERY("SYSDROPFUNCS")
say 'rxfuncquery sysdrivemap' RXFUNCQUERY("SYSDRIVEMAP")
CALL SysDropFuncs
say 'rxfuncquery sysloadfuncs' RXFUNCQUERY("SYSLOADFUNCS")
say 'rxfuncquery sysdropfuncs' RXFUNCQUERY("SYSDROPFUNCS")
say 'rxfuncquery sysdrivemap' RXFUNCQUERY("SYSDRIVEMAP")
Map = SYSDRIVEMAP()

The behavior does not match the documenation.
