I can't sleep at night worrying about what's happened to number 40 in the
Tzadik Radical jewish series.

It's because that's the way Kubrick wanted it. He actually filmed those
movies in full screen and they were matted to widescreen when played in the
theaters. So what you are seeing on the screen in the DVD version is
actually more of the screen than you would have seen in the theater.

I was told it is because they were originally broadcast in theatres in the same screen ratio as they are on the DVD, and that the disclaimer saying they are reformatted to fit the screen is actually wrong.
I, of course, may also be wrong, and hopefully someone with more knowledge of Kubrick will verify my answer.
