That isn't true.  The T packet should have previously returned all the 
important registers (and is needed anyway to make single step fast). 
This "p" would just fill in the gaps.

If after this we still have problems, we can investigate transfering 
registers in bigger chunks using qPart:<regset> (it was concluded that, 
for the moment, it is too bigger sledge hammer for this simple nut).

The original problem is that all registers are in the g-packet and that 
it was too big.
