I had a GCS in the second layer of the caverns, and it decided to stay 20 z levels above the ground level, staring at my dwarves.  None of them are able to move after making eye contact, and all attempts to send marksdwarves have failed because they run out of bolts.  My guys are near death from starvation/dehydration.  What can I do?

Well, after Toady updated the sight mechanics as of 0.42.01, all spiders are able to engage in staring contests with up to eight victims. You might try editing the raw files and reloading, removing the [staring eyes] tag from the GCS's. I've also heard that manually assigning your soldiers eyepatches can prevent this from happening.

joking aside, try a cave in. or build a ballista (and later launch some pointy spear things) far enough away that the operator won't mess himself at the sight of the living nightmare known as a GCS.
