Looking up the cd-hit(1) manual, it seems possible to disable
the memory limit by specifying -M 0.  At least it seems to do
the expected thing on my end.  I will adjust the autopkgtest
accordingly, and maybe upload at some point after the bullseye
release.

Thank you for your analysis!

Have a nice day,  :)
