adjusting size of templog does not remain

A bit bizarre I could be overlooking something since tempdb is not like a user database.
Our log size for tempdb (templog) is 15mb, I need to increase this to 20mb.
I do so through the SQL Enterprise Manager. Adjust the size, hit apply and the size is adjusted!
When I run a Financial apps that uses tempdb, I receive the message that the templog files are full backup and ...
When I go back to tempdb the templog file is back at 15mb.

DATABASE.

Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com|||Ok now I am stumped.
I did
use master
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
MODIFY FILE
(name = templog,
size = 20MB)
go
The templog is then adjusted to 20mb.
I run my financial stored procedure and receive the message templog ran out of space blah blah...
So I go back to review and increase so more, but lo and behold templog is Back at 15mb!!!!
A stored procedure that simply taking data from one database (less than 2000 records) and using temp tables to do some calculations make the log file shift back to 15mb.
Any ideas?

for the tempdb database?
