[HLFL] Unknown arg `--reject-with'

I compiled HLFL rules on a RedHat RHEL machine and, when trying to run
the produced iptables script, I get:

+ /sbin/iptables --append ALL --source 0.0.0.0/0 --destination 0.0.0.0/0 --protocol tcp --jump LOG_REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
iptables v1.2.11: Unknown arg `--reject-with'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

Apparently (see the man page of iptables), --reject-with can be used
only with plain REJECT:

% sudo /sbin/iptables --append ALL --source 1.2.3.4/0  --destination 0.0.0.0/0 --protocol tcp --jump LOG_REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset      iptables v1.2.11: Unknown arg `--reject-with'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

% sudo /sbin/iptables --append ALL --source 1.2.3.4/0  --destination 0.0.0.0/0 --protocol tcp --jump REJECT   --reject-with tcp-reset 
% 

% sudo /sbin/iptables --append ALL --source 1.2.3.4/0  --destination 0.0.0.0/0 --protocol tcp --jump LOG_REJECT                     

So, hlfl seems wrong: it should add --reject-with only to the rules
which jump to REJECT, not to those who jump to LOG_REJECT.

Comment?
