As discussed, I am not sure I am the best person to answer this - hopefully bumping it will draw a bit more attention though.

So just to check, rdi normally contains the first argument - have I remembered that correctly?

Why would the address in rdi be in main?

Okay so the address for main is being stored into $rdi. Setting 0x40085d as a breakpoint and continuing drops you into main.

Edit: ohh so rdi contains the first arg? I didnt know that but it would make sense and answer my question. Thanks!
