I had just this problem with my copy of the lens used on an EOS3, and it happened when I was photographing glaciers high in the Austrian Alps. Mine was fixed by Sigma UK with a new aperture motor. (Tests with the lens cooled in my 'fridge failed to show the fault.) If you need to use the lens before it's fixed, I suggest using the depth of field preview so as to exercise the blades just before exposure. (Canon lenses have also died on me, so lens faults aren't unique to Sigma.)
