I'm still curious. Why would you want to "subdivide" a cylinder, rather than simply create it from the get-go with the number of sides you intend? Is it to be subdivided along it's length or the number of faces around its axis?

And what is the end result you want to achieve? If it's what I suspect (wanting segments of varying circumference along one cylinder), I have a suggestion to get the effect you want with a minimum of trouble.
