okey, so I have experimented some more... Is this right:
%eax first become 3 then 2  (multiply these two values = 6) and then 1 
(total 6) so when the code after the second factorial call is beeing 
used %eax = 6 and 8(%ebp) later to be %ebx is 4. Is this right? Probably 
not, however it's this step I don't understand?
