http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=42.10221539&lon=-87.9626127&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

The result:


Thomas Ave, Des Plaines, Cook, Illinois, 60004, United States of America


Thomas Ave
Des Plaines
Cook
Illinois
60004
United States of America
<country_code>us</country_code>

The zip code is correct, but the City (Des Plaines) is not. This location is in Arlington Heights.

Nominatim had not imported the boundary relation for Arlington Heights. Not quite sure why but presumably there was a geometry error during the initial import that has been fixed in the meantime. (Nominatim does not pick up changes in the boundary ways when the relation is not changed.)

I forced an update and it should be ok now. Please note that there will be a DB reimport in a few days which should fix similar problems with neighbouring boundaries.
