bump start with a CC?

[c340808@is6.mdc.com (Sharon Oblinger)]

 There's a question that's been rattling around my brain since I
took possession of an '80 TR7:

 In the manual they recommend NOT bump starting a vehicle with a 
catalytic converter even though it has a manual transmission.

 Now why is that? Part of the reason I like manual trannys is 
if the battery goes dead for whatever reason, I can at least
bump start it to get me home. Any ideas???
