I believe this is due to bug https://bugs.acpica.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1062

I forced an early abort from the infinite loop using the horrible hack:

diff --git a/src/acpica/source/components/events/evregion.c b/src/acpica/source/components/events/evregion.c
index efaf38b..90e9656 100644
--- a/src/acpica/source/components/events/evregion.c
+++ b/src/acpica/source/components/events/evregion.c
@@ -529,6 +529,7 @@ AcpiEvDetachRegion(

         LastObjPtr = &ObjDesc->Region.Next;
         ObjDesc = ObjDesc->Region.Next;
+ break;
     }

     /* If we get here, the region was not in the handler's region list */

And then I was able to run fwts to completion:

./src/fwts method --dumpfile=/home/king/repos/acpica/acpidump.log - > results.log

Attached are my results.

It shows that the method test works OK and doesn't fail. So I guess the objects are not being found because ACPICA is getting stuck.

The 'Not exist' issue has fixed by the fwts patch,
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/fwts-devel/2014-February/004404.html
It should work after fwts version V14.03.00.
