Yes, I think it is quite confusing.

No, that's not where IMHO the problem was lying.

Since you know French, let me put what I wrote on my man page:
.IPs subdirs=<prfixe>
Crée des sous-répertoires numérotés avec le préfixe donné
pour y écrire les fichiers au lieu de les mettre tous dans le
même répertoire.

Which I'd translate to English by:

.IPs subdirs=<prefix>
Create numbered subdirectories with the specified prefix to
save the files in instead putting them all in the same directory.

The problem is that prefixes are used to group a bunch of files to
subdirs, where "a bunch" is determined by the "maxfiles" options.

Hope it's clearer now.

Hum... I did that, but it doesn't seem to put any kind of
warning/color/Diego face to tell me I've got something wrong. ;-)
Bummer!
