tsql query- consuming large space in tempdb - sql-server

Question

How to find which query is consuming more space in temp db in SQL 2000 version. I do not want to use SQL profiler as there is not much space on disk.
Issue is its 2000 version. No information can be pulled using dmv's.
How to track that between 1-2 which query and on which database is making tempdb size to grow as much that notifications are coming that could allocate page under tempdb, it is full.

You can create a proc out of the script below which can be executed by a job. More or less this is a template and can be altered however you see fit.
EDIT: Added additional comments below.
--Create temp table for sysprocesses records

DROP TABLE #SYSPROC;
