I don't know the solution to your problem, but I have a couple ideas that
may help:
 
1.  Try putting the two PICTs in different folders.  Does that help?
 
2.  Perhaps the two images must be in the same file??

3.  The obligatory answer:  try running with all extensions & control
    panels disabled.  Also, are you using the correct version of the
    System (maybe you're using System 6 and it requires 7)?

Good luck
