Because you're using rdmd and not using -of.

rdmd comes up with an executable filename by hashing the source file's 
content (I'm not 100% sure why, something about filename-uniqueness or 
caching and change-tracking, I'd imagine). And dmd always uses the 
executable filename as the name of the map file (which makes sense when you 
consider executables made from multiple modules).

If you use -of, or if you just use dmd directly, then that hash value 
doesn't get added.
