The solution I prefer is to turn the bars horizontal, so the long labels
appear left of the abscissa and can be easily read. Do this:
BarChart[stuff, BarOrientation -> Horizontal]
Depending upon your operating system, you may need to add
RotateLabel->False. On Mac OSX I don't have to, because the Mac version
cannot rotate text anyway :(
Hope this helps.
PS Still running 4.1.5.
