If you do a marquee selection around what appears to be a single vertices and the PolyCount HUD tells you that you are selecting 2 or more vertices in that spot, you'll need merge those vertices together.
That's one idea anyway. It could be something else.

1) select all the faces of the handle and delet them.
2) select what's left of the hammer and choose Edit Polygons>Fill Hole.
3) select the bottom face of the hammer and choose Edit Polygons>Extrude Face.
4) Try subdividing again.

with this, i think its just a fault with maya not knowing how you want the thing to be subdivided, so it takes an "educated" guess. its happened to me before, tho im not sure whether its a different situation, but its not ur fault, try moving the vertices around before you subdiv

I mixed up all your tips and voilá!!
I deleted all the faces, except 1 ( a good one), of the handle, then i extruded to de oposite position! In that process, a face at the top of the handle was created! So, i deleted all the remain faces except that one, and extruded to the bottom of the handle! Then i subdivided the faces and ...:p you know the rest!
THX GUYS FOR UR TIPS!!
