Yes, you are right, it is not allowing to create more than 32000 subfolders.
This is what I tried
-bash-2.05b#  for ((  i = 0 ;  i <= 32001;  i++  )); do mkdir test$i; done
at the end around 3199x count i got the message,
"cannot create directory `last': Too many links"

I used http://linuxzoo.net/  Fedora image as my test machine,
