Truncated labels with mosaicplot

How can I deal with truncated labels in the mosaicplot()? Look at the example:
mosaicplot(~ gear + carb, data = mtcars, color = TRUE)

Look at "carb" (the number of carburetors): the label "8" is
truncated. How this might be dealt with?

Thanks in advance,
Marcin

Often plot labels can be missing or truncated simply because there is not enough
room for them.  If you are using windows, what happens if you drag the corner of
the plot window to make it bigger?  I can make the plot lose half of its "8"
label by reducing the vertical dimension of the plot window.

As Michael noted, it depends on the aspect ratio. For a more 
flexible layout, you could try package vcd.
