Default GFCI Wierdness

Talked with my mother last night, and when I show up for Sunday dinner
I need to make some repairs around the house (normal). But one is
confusing. Apparently, the GFCI outlets in the master bath won't run
a nightlight, but they do run an electric toothbrush and hair dryer.
The nightlight, a simple 7W bulb, works fine in non-GFCI outlets in
the bath as well as GFCI outlets in the other bath and kitchen. The
toothbrush and hair dryer apparently work fine in all the outlets.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff
