That's indeed long. When I just tried it now I got:
Packet received:
06020000000000000000000000000000dcff0900dcff090000000000000000002cd20000060000000800000010000000100000001000000010000000100000004444000000000000ffff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007f03ffff0000ffffffffffff00000000000000000000ffff0000000000000000
which is ~352 bytes, whereas you got 518. How did you build the redboot 
you're using? In particular have you enabled CYGHWR_HAL_I386_PENTIUM_SSE or 
any other option (not that that should matter, at least in gdb 6 - don't 
know about 5.3). Even then the packet should be shorter than what you got - 
I think yours is about 78 bytes longer than what I figure the maximum size 
in the current sources would give (though I may have miscounted - see 
i386_stub.h).
