It's a Networked String Table limit that is reached when precache limit is reached. The big problem is there is no checking done to make all inputted objects into the table to make sure they are all conforming to the same conventions such as all lowercase with only one character for the path separator. Because of this if you have some cases of using / in one place and \ in another place or you don't always have lowercase names you can cause duplicate entries to be created. Furthermore there are some odd situations I found where even enforcing this that sometimes it would still add duplicates to the table. The only thing that worked in this case was to check IsModelPrecached() and if so return; engine->PrecacheModel() would still seem to in some cases place it in the table even when it was already in.
