PHP Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed… in class-member-directory.php

I’m using Ultimate Member v2.1.6 on an up-to-date WordPress system. When users search the Member Directory for a name (e.g. “vanitha”), a PHP Warning is generated in the log:

[Jun 04, 11:29:43] PHP Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: number too big in {} quantifier at offset 30 in /wp-content/plugins/ultimate-member/includes/core/class-member-directory.php on line 1474

Here are the full details:
