Memory error when applying logistf()

Question

I am trying to apply logistf() on a dataframe (dim:11359x139). All the variables are binary. I get the following message: "Error in logistf.fit(x = x, y = y, weight = weight, offset = offset, firth, : no memory available". Even if I take into consideration only 20 rows and 139 predictors of the dataframe I get the same. Is it a hardware issue or my fault?
