The problem is that polynomial fitting generally doesn't make sense for degree higher than 4 or 5--if that--and at very high degree it is inevitable that the matrix will become singular. In other words, there is not enough information in the data to uniquely determine the fit. Whatever it is you are trying to to, fitting a polynomial with a high degree is the wrong way to do it.
