JMS Messaging Modular Input: Why am I receiving "ERROR Regex - Failed in pcre_exec" errors after upgrading the Splunk forwarder?

HI,
I'm receiving bunch of errors in the splunkd.log referring to JMS Messaging Modular Input (jms_ta) but I updated the add-on but some reason the jms_ta has stopped polling the logs from the queue which we are supposed to get in the old add-on. So I degraded the add-on to the old version.
ex errors:-

04-20-2017 10:01:58.488 -0500 ERROR Regex - Failed in pcre_exec: Error PCRE_ERROR_MATCHLIMIT for regex: (?im).*
04-20-2017 10:01:58.957 -0500 ERROR Regex - Failed in pcre_exec: Error PCRE_ERROR_MATCHLIMIT for regex: (?im).*
04-20-2017 10:01:59.733 -0500 ERROR Regex - Failed in pcre_exec: Error PCRE_ERROR_MATCHLIMIT for regex: (?im).*
04-20-2017 10:02:00.179 -0500 ERROR Regex - Failed in pcre_exec: Error PCRE_ERROR_MATCHLIMIT for regex: (?im).*

Can you please help me
