Is this accumulative? What size is the drive and is it partitioned?
Classic will take up RAM when it is running, not HD space, so I doubt this is the problem. Unless you are actually using Classic, there is really no need to have it running in the background. It will launch automatically if needed.
As mentioned in another thread, Virtual Memory uses a lot of HD space as it runs the System and all your apps.
If the 40MB is recovered at each restart, then I would not be too concerned about it. However, if 40MB is lost at each restart and the effect is accumulative , it is not going to take you long to run out of HD space.
Do you have any sort of "Undelete" type program running. Something like Norton that will allow you to recover files that have been deleted. They use a lot of HD space.
