My system.log grows extremely fast, more than 3 GB/day. There are thousands of lines containing this:

Aug 10 20:40:38 xxxs-Computer.local coreservicesd[73]: Application App:"BOINC Manager" [ 0x0/0x9009] @ 0x0x7f9ac1b01490 tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontASNs ( ( ASN:0x0-0x2002:) ), so denying.


What does that mean and how can I stop that?

From searches on the error message, it seems to be something that Mac OS X does.
See http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/62707/how-to-get-installers-not-to-hang-on-waiting-for-other-installations-to-complet and try to follow the advice.

In any way, it's something OS X specific, so you're probably better off asking at a Mac-user forum.
