I stand corrected.  Stared, according to the dictionaries I looked at after posting, is indeed both transitive and intransitive.  Nice to have that confirmed by a profession linguist, retired or not.  While searching the dictionaries, I also checked gaped.  This, they all agreed, is intransitive only.  But if OldTimer tells us it can sometimes be transitive, I will believe him.
